Question presented
Whether the Due Process, Equal Protection and Privilege and Immunities Clauses of the United States Constitution, and the Constitutional Guarantees of a Fundamentally Fair Trial applicable to New York through the Fourteenth Amendment, require that an accused charged with what otherwise would be a criminal offense in a statutorily mandated student disciplinary proceeding at a public university be afforded a meaningful opportunity to be heard and judged by objective evidence in a fair, impartial, unbiased and untainted forum by individuals free of any conflict of interest and be given the opportunity to confront adverse witnesses and present a material, relevant and probative defense in a fair and equitable manner.
