Illinois Statutes Chapter 110. Higher Education § 25/6. Rights in interrogations

§ 6. Rights in interrogations. (a) In any interrogation of any person suspected of a violation of association rules, at the point at which the association should reasonably believe the person might have violated association rules, it shall inform the person that it is investigating him or her for misconduct that might result in the imposition of a penalty on such individual or his or her institution.

(b) At such point, the person interrogated is entitled to have counsel present at any further interrogation and need not respond further until provided with reasonable time to obtain counsel. The person interrogated is entitled to a complete recording of any subsequent interrogation and a transcript of the full interrogation made at the expense of the association. The transcript shall be made by a certified Illinois court reporter.

The association or its agent shall inform the person to be interrogated of these rights before proceeding and shall obtain written acknowledgement of such provision.

(c) In any proceeding or hearing held to determine whether a violation has occurred under Section 4, any party who has been subject to an interrogation, or the institution with whom he or she is associated, may seek to suppress evidence obtained during or as a result of the interrogation if the interrogation was not conducted in accordance with this Section.
