The University of Florida (through spokesperson Janine Sikes) issued this response Friday afternoon to an accusation of possible bias in the Antonio Callaway sexual assault hearing:
The University of Florida is prohibited to comment on the existence or substance of student disciplinary matters under state and federal law.
However, I can tell you that our student conduct process may be handled by a hearing officer, who could be a university employee or an outside professional, or by a committee of faculty and students.
Any hearing officer and all committee members are trained and vetted for their impartiality.
