Respondent Rights
Respondents have equitable rights to Complainants during the investigative process. However, depending on whether you are a student, faculty or staff the complaint and investigative process might be slightly different. Please visit the tab that is associated with you to better understand your rights. If you are a student / employee you are encouraged to visit both tabs.
Allegation(s) against students will follow the procedures as outlined in the Student Conduct Code WAC 172-121.
Allegation(s) against employees will follow the procedures as outlined in EWU policy 402-01.
Allegation(s) against non-student or non-employees
Allegation(s) against non-students or non-employees will most likely not be investigated by EWU due to the fact EWU would not have jurisdiction over them to take disciplinary action. Criminal complaints can still be filed with the local law enforcement entity. If the Respondent is a community member at another university you may receive assistance with filing a Title IX complaint with the affiliated university's Title IX Coordinator.
Discipline for violations
Discipline may include but is not limited to; verbal / written warnings, required training, probation (student), suspension (student or employee), campus restrictions (students) or demotions (employees), expulsion, or termination of employment.
