4.4.9 : Retaliation / False Complaints

Retaliation

It is a violation of this Policy to retaliate against any person making a complaint under this Policy or against any person cooperating or participating in an investigation under this Policy. Retaliation should be reported promptly to the Title IX Coordinator and may result in appropriate disciplinary action independent of other sanctions or interim measures administered under this Policy.

Filing a False Complaint

Any Complainant who knowingly makes false charges alleging violations of this policy may be subjected to disciplinary action. A good faith complaint which is later not substantiated is not considered to be a false complaint.
