A Witness Role and Participation in the Investigation

Witnesses who are University Employees are strongly encouraged to cooperate with and participate in the University’s investigation and Administrative Resolution Process. Student witnesses and witnesses from outside the University community are encouraged to cooperate with University investigations and to share what they know about a complaint.

 

Party and/or witness interviews may be conducted in person, via online video platforms (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, WebEx), or, in limited circumstances, by telephone. The University will take appropriate steps to ensure the security/privacy of remote interviews.

 

Parties and witnesses may also provide written statements in lieu of interviews or choose to respond to written questions, if deemed appropriate by the Investigator(s), though not preferred.
