Appealing a Decision Regarding an Incident of Harassment, Discrimination, or Retaliation
If a faculty member, staff member, or student making a complaint does not agree with its resolution, a written appeal may be submitted to The University of Findlay President within 72 hours of the notification of the resolution. The decision of the President, in conjunction with the appropriate vice presidents, and/or chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Trustees, will be final.
False Charges:
Once a complaint of sexual harassment and/or discrimination has been made, the University has an obligation to investigate the matter. Any complaint determined to be intentionally dishonest or made maliciously without regard for the truth shall subject such complainant to disciplinary action. The determination as to whether a complaint constitutes a false charge under this section shall be made as part of the complaint resolution process set forth in these procedures.
Records Regarding an Incident of Harassment, Discrimination, or Retaliation
The University of Findlay Office of Human Resources will maintain records regarding all cases of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation for a period of at least three years or longer where required by law. These records will include all documentation related to a reported incident and its disposition. Except as required by law, no records maintained by the Office of Human Resources shall be released.
