At the request of an involved party, and with the agreement of the other parties, some conduct reported under the Student Sexual Misconduct Policy may be addressed by alternative resolution. (Quid pro quo sexual harassment by an employee may not be addressed by alternative resolution.) The goals of alternative resolution are to address reported behavior, prevent recurrence, and remedy effects without completing a formal investigation and hearing process. Alternative resolutions are flexible by nature and tailored to the specific circumstances of a particular case.
Alternative resolution will be considered only when consistent with institutional values, legal obligations and the voluntary, mutual agreement of all involved parties, including the University.
