["McGough, Elizabeth M." <>]

Two questions came up after a recent debriefing meeting on a sexual assault case.  I’m wondering what other schools are doing in these areas:

 

How much information does your Judicial Office require to start a case?  Specifically how much detail does the victim have to write in the complaint?  And how much information do you give to the accused when informing about the complaint?

 

Do you have any academic policies or procedures for when a student discloses a recent sexual assault to a faculty member?  How do you handle a situation when both the victim and the accused are in the same class -- before the judicial hearing if there isn’t a strong enough case to have issued an interim suspension?

 

Thanks

-Liz
