After receiving a dismissal appeal, what is the Academy Coordinator's next step?

The next step for the Academy Coordinator upon receiving a dismissal appeal is to schedule a meeting to review the investigative report. This step is crucial because it ensures that all relevant information and evidence pertaining to the dismissal are thoroughly examined before any further action is taken.

By scheduling a meeting, the Coordinator facilitates a structured discussion that can include key stakeholders such as academic staff, administrative personnel, or even the cadet involved in the appeal. This review process allows for a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances surrounding the appeal, ensuring that the decision-making process is fair and transparent.

Collectively reviewing the investigative report helps to verify facts, identify any potential discrepancies, and consider the cadet's perspective, which is essential for upholding the principles of due process and justice within the academy's disciplinary framework. This critical step allows the Coordinator to make an informed and balanced judgment regarding the appeal going forward.
