Investigative Procedure

If an Investigative Procedure is deemed necessary by either the Honor Board Leadership or the Facilitation Team, the Facilitation Team shall interview the Reported and the Reporter about the alleged violation and shall gather from both parties names of any Witnesses able to substantially contribute to the Facilitation Team’s understanding of the alleged violation. Members of the Facilitation Team may interview Witnesses with substantive knowledge of the alleged violation. In absence of obvious lack of Merit after an efficient Investigative Procedure, all Reports should be assumed to have Merit and be continued to a Case. The Reported, Reporter, and Witnesses should be contacted within two (2) business days of a report being filed. After this contact, the Investigate Procedure should be completed within a week. In the absence of obvious lack of Merit after an efficient Investigative Procedure, all Reports should be assumed to have Merit and be continued to a Case.
