The Key

Student Conduct & Regulations 60|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey The Investigator will consider the parties’ written responses before completing the Investigative Report. Parties may request a reasonable extension of the time to submit a written response, which may be denied in the sole discretion of the Investigator, in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator. The Investigator has 10 days to generate a report or after the responses to additional evidence are due; the Investigator may provide the Parties and their Advisors with written notice extending the investigation and explaining the reason for the extension. C. Investigative Report The Investigator will create an Investigative Report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence. The Investigative Report is not intended to catalog all evidence obtained by the Investigator, but only to provide a fair summary of that evidence. Only relevant evidence (including both inculpatory and exculpatory relevant evidence – i.e., tending to prove and disprove the allegations, respectively) will be referenced in the Investigative Report. Evidence obtained in the investigation that is determined in the reasoned judgment of the Investigator not to be directly related to the allegations in the Formal Complaint will be included in the appendices to the Investigative Report. The Investigator may redact irrelevant information from the Investigative Report when that information is contained in otherwise relevant documents or evidence. The Investigative Report will be shared with the Parties and their Advisors at least 10 days prior to any hearing for their review and written response. Any written response received will be shared with the Decision-Makers(s) and the other Party and their Advisor prior to the hearing. D. Ongoing Notice If, in the course of an investigation, the University decides to investigate allegations about either Party that are not included in the Notice of Allegations and are otherwise covered Sexual Misconduct Violations falling within this Policy or other violations of the University’s Student Code of Conduct, the University will notify the Parties of the additional allegations by their University email accounts or other reasonable means. It is the responsibility of the Party to update the Title IX Coordinator of any email address or other changes to the means of contact. The Parties will be provided sufficient time to review the additional allegations to prepare a response before any initial interview regarding those additional allegations. 8. General Rules of Hearings A. Notice of Hearing No less than 10 days prior to the hearing, the Office of Student Conduct/University will send written notice of the hearing to the Parties. The Parties will be notified by their University email accounts or by other reasonable means. Once mailed, emailed, and/or received in-person, notice will be presumptively delivered.
