Confidentiality Standards. Recognizing that damage could result to the career and reputation of any academic employee falsely accused of sexual harassment and that false accusations of sexual harassment can have serious effects on innocent individuals, the District and AFT-Y agree that all investigations and hearings pertaining to sexual harassment charges shall be conducted insofar as possible to protect the privacy of the accused and the complainant and to minimize suspicion of either. Until the matter is finally resolved through operation of the appropriate procedure specified above only persons directly involved in the matter and/or their official representatives or designees shall have access to information pertaining to the case. Nothing in this section, however, shall be deemed to broaden access to records otherwise limited by any of the aforementioned procedures and/or the current AGREEMENT between the District and AFT-Y unless otherwise provided by law.
