Confidentiality

Subject to the other provisions of this policy and the requirements of law, every possible effort will be made to ensure that any information received as part of the College’s resolution and complaint procedures is treated discreetly. All parties to the complaint will be asked to assist in maintaining the privacy of the parties involved. Because of the college’s obligation to investigate allegations of misconduct, it is not possible to guarantee that complaints will be handled confidentially.

Except as compelled by law, in the interest of fairness and problem resolution, disclosure of complaints and their substance and the results of investigations and complaint procedures will be limited to the immediate parties, witnesses and other appropriate administrative officials. Disclosure may also be necessary to conduct a full and impartial investigation.
