In DRB hearings, how long must charges pending be heard after their initiation?

The correct timeframe for charges pending in DRB (Disciplinary Review Board) hearings to be heard after their initiation is established to ensure due process and maintain a timely response to allegations. By setting the window to no sooner than 24 hours and no later than 72 hours, the system allows sufficient time for both parties involved to prepare their cases, gather necessary documentation, or seek legal counsel if needed. This time frame strikes a balance between the urgency of addressing disciplinary issues and the fairness of allowing adequate preparation time.

The selection of this specific range also aligns with best practices in administrative proceedings, promoting efficiency while protecting the rights of those involved. Thus, this choice helps uphold the integrity of the disciplinary process.
