   2. Role of advisor/attorney
      New suggested language (see underline, for page 13): When an accused appears before the Judicial Administrator, the University Hearing Board, the University Review Board, or other University officials acting in a judicial capacity, the accused has the right to counsel or to advice by an individual of the accused’s choice.
