PROCEDURES FOR PROBABLE CAUSE HEARINGS
On October 2, 2005 the following understanding was reached regarding probable cause hearings:
The UFT will conduct a meeting of lawyers who represent UFT members at 3020-a proceedings to inform them about the new procedures regarding offenses involving sexual misconduct with a student or a minor not a student. During that meeting there will be a discussion of of what could constitute probable cause, including that we agree that in a probable cause hearing the hearing officer may accept hearsay as evidence of probable cause, and that a criminal complaint and corroborating affidavit or the SCI report is sufficient evidence to create a rebuttable presumption of probable cause.
