Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

You should be given the opportunity to read the accusations against you and see the evidence, and to offer a defense. But every administrative situation is different, and I don't know enough to know what you are entitled to at this point. If you'd like to speak with me about it, please don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation. Good luck. Steve Mandell 310 393 0639

Here is one case you might research, and the other cases cited therein might give you additional leads. This case involved a public college.

Perlman v. Shasta Joint Jr. College Dist. Bd. of Trustees, 9 Cal.App.3d 873, 88 Cal.Rptr. 563 (Cal. App. 3 Dist., 1970)

I did not find any recent California cases involving private colleges, but I believe the standard would be "fair hearing" which is less than "due process."

When charged with an allegation of personal improper or illegal conduct such as discrimination and harassment, the investigation file would be confidential, as is the ID of the accusers to protect them, with access allowed only if and when a lawsuit is filed and subpoenas issued. Other general disciplinary investigations would allow you hearing rights and rebuttal rights. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible
