Increased Accountability for Universities on Employee Incident Reports
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 investigations. Citizens can expect greater transparency and accountability in university management.
Key points
University presidents and at least one board member must annually review all reports of serious incidents involving employees.
The review must cover factual findings, conclusions, and imposed sanctions, but cannot interfere with the investigation itself.
The act applies to incidents reported to Title IX coordinators, which includes discrimination and harassment cases.
