All emergency removals will also comply with requirements under Chapter 505 of Title 22 of the Pennsylvania Code concerning Student Personnel. ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES The University retains the authority to place Employees on administrative leave consistent with applicable requirements of relevant University policies and collective bargaining agreements. INFORMAL RESOLUTION PROCESS Informal means of resolution, such as mediation, may be used as an alternative to the formal investigation and hearing procedures. Informal resolution is a voluntary process and may be used only where a Formal Complaint has been filed. Upon written agreement of all parties, informal resolution may be initiated at any time prior to finding of responsibility in a hearing, and may be terminated at any time prior to final resolution. If the informal process is terminated, the Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process, which includes an investigation and hearing, will proceed. Once a final resolution has been reached and documented and signed by all parties, the resolution cannot be appealed. Informal resolution may not be utilized when a Student files a Formal Complaint against a University Employee, Volunteer or Official under this Policy. SEXUAL MISCONDUCT RESOLUTION PROCESS 1. Formal Complaint The Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process is initiated by a Complainant providing the Title IX Coordinator a written, signed Formal Complaint describing the facts alleged. See the section titled Filing a Formal Complaint above. 2. Notice of Allegations he Title IX Coordinator will draft and provide a written Notice of Allegations to any Party alleged to have violated this Policy. Such notice will occur as soon as practicable, but no more than 10 days, after the University receives a Formal Complaint of the allegations, if there are no extenuating circumstances.
