The scenario correctly describes the burden of proof in academic disciplinary proceedings. The accused student is generally responsible for proving their innocence rather than the accuser having to prove guilt. This is not a violation of substantive due process, as the accused still has an opportunity to present evidence and defend themselves in front of the board.
