== Motion for Reconsideration by NASPA Executive Committee ==
If you disagree with a ruling issued on an incident report by the AB, you may email or mail the NASPA Executive Committee (EC) within 30 days of the issuance of the ruling and ask it to reconsider the matter. The EC is also empowered sua sponte to reconsider any director’s or other committee’s decision.
Should the EC decide to reconsider any matter, it will review the case record to date in the matter, solicit such additional information as it deems necessary or advisable, and shall render such decision as it deems proper under the circumstances. Except in extraordinary circumstances, the EC will not accept for reconsideration the decisions of lower committees or directors. If the EC declines to reconsider a matter, the decision of the AB shall be final.
The EC reconsideration constitutes a de novo review of the matter, and the EC may uphold sanctions levied by a director or another NASPA committee, based on an evidentiary standard of preponderance of the evidence, or may vacate, or modify (to increase or decrease) sanctions levied by a director or another NASPA committee, based on an evidentiary standard of clear and convincing evidence. The decision of the EC shall be final.
