Every hearing should be run in accordance to legal correctness. To not do so would be a violation of students' rights. Remember- students must follow UCF's rules, but UCF must obey the law and uphold all rights of students. They don't supercede those.

Absolutely! Public universities are bound by public law. To say that a student is obliged to obey all their rules simply by enrolling is bogus. Speech codes is an example of what universities try, often unsuccessfully, to impose.
Someone here said that the best approach for a greek group is to just bow your head and take your lumps. No doubt that's sometimes true depending on what you've been up to. But if a greek group wants to challenge the university on the basis of due process, they'll usually have a good case because of the arrogance and bullying of administrators who think they can make up the rules as they go long.
