Increased Accountability for Universities in Employee Incident Reporting
New rules require university presidents and board members to personally review reports of serious incidents involving employees. This aims to increase oversight and ensure such matters are taken seriously, without influencing the investigations themselves. Citizens can expect greater transparency and accountability in how universities handle these situations.
Key points
University presidents and at least one board member must personally review all reports of serious incidents involving employees submitted to the Title IX coordinator.
This review must include factual findings, the basis for conclusions about employee policy violations, and the disposition of complaints, including any sanctions imposed.
The identity of the reporting individual must be protected and not shared without their consent.
Individuals conducting the review are prohibited from interfering with or influencing any investigation or disposition related to the reported incident.
