Investigations

Do you have questions about the laws 和 regulations related to 第九条? Are you considering making a Formal Complaint under 第九条? Have you just received a notice of allegations 和 investigation? Have you been asked to serve as someone's advisor in a 第九条 hearing? If so, you've come to the right place. If you have not already, please review our Sexual Misconduct PolicyProcedures

Generally speaking, each case that falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of 第九条 begins with a formal complaint. After receiving a formal complaint, the 第九条 Coordinator sends out official notices to all involved parties 和 the investigation process begins. During the investigation, all parties get the opportunity to review 和 comment on the relevant evidence 和 information gathered by the investigators. After the investigation is concluded, a live-hearing occurs where it is determined whether or not a policy violation occurred. After the hearing, each party has certain opportunities to appeal. For more information about the process, please review this sample 第九条 flowchart.
