Rights of Complainants and Respondents
Complainants have the right to be heard, to receive information about the process, and to be protected from retaliation. Respondents have the right to be informed of the allegations and to respond to what is being alleged.
Confidentiality protections are applied to minimize disclosure and protect privacy. Information is shared on a need-to-know basis to support the investigation and safety, while respecting legal and policy limits.
Interim Measures and Safety
Interim measures may be implemented to protect all parties during the investigation. These can include adjustments to work assignments, scheduling, or reporting structures to prevent further harm and ensure safety.
Retaliation Protections
Retaliation against a complainant, witness, or participant is strictly prohibited. The policy outlines remedies and supports for those who experience retaliation and emphasizes accountability to deter future incidents.
