Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Megan Elizabeth Selheim <>]

We’ve had a few cases (and we have one right now) where our initial interview with a Respondent is being scheduled for several weeks after the initial complaint, due to the fact that the Respondent has chosen an independent attorney as their advisor and that attorney has scheduling conflicts that need to be accommodated.

 

Is there any guidance on how much time we have to allow, and if there is a point at which we can require an interview without the chosen advisor due to timeline constraints? I’m honestly not sure how much of the delay in these cases is due to actual scheduling conflicts, and how much is due to defense attorney delay tactics.

 

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
