Investigations
The College will conduct an investigation if:
1. the Title IX Coordinator determines through the assessment that an
investigation is warranted, a College-initiated investigation will occur
with or without the complainant’s consent; or
2. the complainant disagrees with the results of the assessment and
requests an investigation.
In either case, the complainant and respondent will be notified within five
(5) workdays of the College decision to initiate an investigation, and they
will be informed of the process that will be used.
The College will seek to conclude the investigation within thirty (30)
workdays of receipt of the written complaint from the complainant or the
date of the determination by the Title IX Coordinator that an investigation
is warranted following the assessment. Extended time for investigations
may be necessary, in which case both parties will be informed. See Title IX
Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedures for further details.
The Title IX Coordinator will submit the final investigation report to the
appropriate College employee(s) for a judgment based on the nature of
the complaint as follows:
• For complaints involving only employees – to the supervising
Associate Vice President or Senior Leader, or their designees
• For complaints involving only students – to the AVP/Dean of
Students
• For complaints involving both a student and an employee – to the
supervising Associate Vice President or supervising Senior Leader, or
their designees and the AVP/Dean of Students
