Abstract: 

There is no question that student disciplinary proceedings bear very little resemblance to legal court proceedings. In fact, they are fairly dissimilar to administrative hearings held outside of educational institutions as well. These differences, however, do not negate the need for assuring that appropriate procedures are followed to ensure that the due process rights of the individuals involved are protected. The following case, Gomes v. University of Maine System, 365 F. Supp. 2d 6 (2005), provides a good reminder of just how much is enough in the area of procedural due process.
