Doctor Appleby:  The Student Conduct Code and Disciplinary system at the U of O is carefully codified with policies, procedures and appeal processes.  The Code is easily accessed on line and is worth reading if your interested in the University's disciplinary policies.  It's no easy task for a University to develop and administer a conduct code which both protects students and the institution while fairly treating those accused of code violations.  Based on the cases I've read of, I feel the University generally does a good job of following the code stipulations.  It seems that, in the case of "John Doe" the Court found that those policies and procedures were NOT followed.  That is a condemnation of the actions of the administration in this case.  It is NOT a condemnation of the student conduct code.  Gary Crum
