Dr. Bass,
Per the TTUHSC Student Handbook, I received, and thoroughly reviewed, the Findings and
Recommendation of the Student Conduct Board after they heard your case on December 11,
2023.
I have reviewed the zoom recording of your hearing along with the all the supporting
documentation provided to the Board.
In their letter of 12/27/2023, the Student Conduct Board unanimously recommended that you be
dismissed as a student from the TTUHSC School of Medicine and I support the Student Conduct
Board’s recommendation.
As stated in the Board’s Findings and Recommendation letter, you have the opportunity to
appeal my decision to Provost Dagostino within five (5) business days (Student Code, Part
II.F.4.p.), if your position is that a procedural deviation occurred that substantially affected the
outcome of your case or that new information has become available since the hearing.
Sincerely,

John C. DeToledo, MD
