Because harassment can often be dealt with informally we encourage individuals who believe they are being harassed to firmly and promptly notify the offender that his or her behavior is unwelcome. Because this may be difficult, however, such direct communication is not a requirement of filing a complaint. Any manager or supervisor who witnesses or hears about conduct that may constitute discrimination, harassment or retaliation prohibited by this policy must immediately report the conduct by contacting the Head of School. The School will not retaliate, nor will it tolerate retaliation against workers who complain in good faith about discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in the workplace, or who participate in any workplace investigation under this policy.
Investigating and Resolving Complaints
The School will promptly investigate all allegations of prohibited harassment, discrimination or retaliation that are brought to its attention. The investigation will be conducted by qualified personnel in as confidential manner as is practical and appropriate under the circumstances, recognizing that some disclosure will be necessary to effectively investigate the complaint. The investigation and complaint process will give all parties notice of the nature of any allegations made against them and a meaningful opportunity to respond. All workers, including managers and supervisors, have a duty to cooperate in the School’s investigation of misconduct under this policy. Investigations will be documented and tracked to ensure that reasonable progress is made and timely closure achieved. Upon completing its investigation, the School will make findings and conclusions based on the evidence it has collected. If it determines that misconduct has occurred, CSB will take appropriate remedial action. Individuals found to have violated this policy will be appropriately disciplined commensurate with the severity of the offense. Discipline may range from a verbal or written warning, to suspension or demotion, up to and including termination of employment. Appropriate action will also be taken to deter any future misconduct. The complaining person and the individual accused of misconduct will be made aware of the outcome of the investigation. The School will not retaliate against any individual for filing a good faith complaint and will not permit retaliation by administration, faculty, or staff.
