I see this topic was raised in January 2004 but this is a different slant
on it.
Rather than note-take during disciplinary hearings, we were considering
audio taping them, with the student's consent.
However, one issue in particular concerns us. We would give the student a
transcript of the tape but what if s/he requested a copy of the tape?
Sometimes, during such hearings, students mention other students by name,
as in "Well so-and-so did that too...."
If they are supplied with notes based on the hearing - or a transcription
of an audio tape - the names of others can be redacted.
We could not easily erase/obliterate names of other students mentioned from
an audio tape.
Surely this would place us in a difficult position if the student played
the tape to others or submitted the tape to the Office of the Independent
Adjudicator?
