Investigation of Charges of Discrimination. Charges of discrimination, including those filed by faculty members against students, alleging unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that constitutes sexual harassment, shall be promptly reviewed/investigated according to established University procedures. No faculty member reviewed/investigated under such procedures shall be disciplined until such review is complete and a finding of discrimination has been issued. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 18.2(b), whenever the University receives information that a faculty member is engaging in behavior in the classroom which could create potential liability to the University, and in order to protect the interests of both the University and the faculty member, a chair/supervisor or other University representative may conduct unannounced observation/visitation of that faculty member’s classroom for the purpose of investigating the allegations. If after the completion of the review/investigation, any finding of discrimination is made, a record of the complete findings will be placed in the faculty member’s evaluation file. If no finding of discrimination on any charge or complaint is made, no record of the charge or complaint will be placed in the faculty member’s evaluation file unless the faculty member requests in writing that a record of the complete review/investigation be placed in the evaluation file.
