The panel of three tenured faculty members who presided over HillTV’s appeal hearing Nov. 11 has not reached a decision regarding Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s decision to disband the station.

The three faculty members, whose identities will not be revealed by Syracuse University administrators until the appeal process is complete, were expected to make their decision sometime last week, said Kevin Morrow, director of SU News Services.

Morrow said in an e-mail on Friday that a decision should be reached at the beginning this week.

The members of HillTV submitted the appeal to Cantor’s decision last month with the intention of proving that the university did not follow due process of its own judicial codes when it shut the student organization down without warning. The appeal hearing was not heard by the Judicial Review Board because it qualified for ‘modified procedures,’ which is detailed in the Judicial System Handbook.

Modified procedures such as this are used when ‘safety and security issues so demand, when special expertise is needed to ensure fairness or in other circumstances where in the university’s sole discretion, the procedures described herein are deemed insufficient to meet the objectives of educating and protecting members of the university community,’ according to the handbook.
