there is a gradual accumulation of grievances, a separate meeting or exchange of written statements may be necessary. The purpose of such a meeting or exchange is to specify and stop offensive behaviour, and to seek repentance and reconciliation. Regardless of the outcome of such interaction, the complainant retains the right to proceed to the next stage if she or he feels that justice has not yet been served. Because harassment is often perpetrated by superordinates upon subordinates, the complainant may feel that she or he cannot confront the alleged harasser with impunity. Such a complainant may best forego this stage. B. Stage 2 — Informal Consultation A person who is a student desirous of making a complaint of alleged harassment against either another student or an employee should contact the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Director of Student Development or Seminary Dean. In each case the Harassment Investigation Chair shall be informed immediately. The specific purposes of such informal consultation with the Associate Dean of Student Affairs or Director of Student Development are: 1. to provide the person with the opportunity to sound out and explore personal feelings with a responsible, impartial confidante, 2. to review the incident or pattern of behaviour for further clarification by: 3. 4. 5. – identifying the actual words or actions of both the initiator and the complainant that are at issues – clarifying the interpretations, meanings, and perceptions of those words and actions held by the complainant, to discuss the following options available to the complainant; – confront the accused personally, – ask the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Director of Student Development, or Administrator to confront the accused on behalf of the complainant, – arrange an informal meeting with the accused and with the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Director of Student Development, or Seminary Dean acting as either an advocate or mediator, – lodge a formal written complaint, to clarify the complainant’s rights and responsibilities in choosing any subsequent option, beginning with the informal conversation, written documentation should be accurately kept, including dates. C. Stage 3 — Formal Investigation After the informal consultation, the complainant may lodge a formal complaint with the Harassment Investigation Committee. An Harassment Investigative Committee is appointed by the President, consisting of one member of the administration, one member of the faculty, one member of the staff, and the Harassment Investigation Representative (Chairperson). When this occurs, the Harassment Investigation Representative (in consultation with the President) is responsible to initiate the following sequence of events: 1. the Harassment Investigation Committee Chair will serve as the liaison for the complainant, 2. the Harassment Investigation Committee will appoint a member to serve as the liaison for the accused, 3. a member of the Harassment Investigation Committee will be appointed by the committee to lead the meeting in the event that the Chair is serving as the liaison for the complainant. • 36 •
4. 5. 6. 7. a written and signed complaint that includes all of the pertinent details will be obtained from the complainant, a copy of the written and signed complaint will be given to the person accused of harassment, after which the accused will submit a response, the Harassment Investigative Committee shall meet and review the written or recorded statements from both parties and then interview each party and any witnesses such committee considers appropriate, the Chair on behalf of the Harassment Investigative Committee shall communicate their decision, and any recommended discipline of the harasser and remedies for the complainant, to the President. III. Matters Concerning Procedures A. Disciplinary Actions If the occurrence of harassment is established, pursuant to the formal investigation, disciplinary action consistent with the severity of the offence shall be implemented by the President. Disciplinary action may include reprimand (verbal warning with written documentation lodged in the person’s university college/seminary file), monitoring for behavioral change, suspension, expulsion, or dismissal. The President may also provide information to the appropriate legal authorities responsible for the administration of justice in the Province. B. Confidentiality It is in the best interests of the affected parties that the strictest confidentiality possible be maintained throughout the process. However, when the health or safety of individuals is involved, it may be necessary to inform the appropriate legal authorities. Procedures must be carried out as expeditiously as possible to facilitate confidentiality. C. Intimidation and Interference Any threats, other forms of intimidation, or retaliation by the accused against the complainant or any other party involved in implementing this policy constitutes harassment in itself. Any interference by the accused with the conduct of an investigation will itself result in disciplinary action by PUC/PTS. Any breach of confidentiality by any individual with respect to a complaint, whether the complaint is found to be substantiated or unsubstantiated, may also constitute interference or retaliation. Sexual Assault and Rape Providence University College and Seminary is firmly committed to a policy that condemns sexual assault, rape, or any type of aggressive sexual behaviour. Such acts are a serious violation of person and community. This policy is not only based upon the conviction that the Bible condemns these types of sexual behaviour but is also consistent with provincial and federal laws prohibiting such actions. Therefore, any sexual behaviour which is forced or assaultive will be dealt with as a serious breach of standards of PUC/PTS. • 37 •
