Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": ​Brad is entitled to a hearing at Washburn regardless of the outcome of the criminal case.

Explanation:

Hearings are audiences where individuals present in front of a judging body such as a government agency. Hearings are not trials but they can help individuals to expose their version of the acts that took place and that grant the right of having the hearing so the jury's final decision can be influenced by those exposed facts and what other law enforcement entities such as the Police could provide.

Then, Brad Alder is entitled a hearing at Washburn State University so he can provide his version of the facts after being arrested for public drunkenness regardless of the final decision of the criminal case.
