For a list of the members of the Anti-Harassment panel for each academic year (including
name, title, office location, office hours, telephone number and email address), please see the

members who represent the various employee groups on campus.
The manager of employment, employee and labor relations will ensure that all complaints are
investigated within a reasonable period. Keep other panel members informed of recent legal
decisions and other related issues; certify that each member has been appropriately trained
before assuming active membership on the panel; update and disseminate the anti-harassment
policy; and keep minutes for each panel meeting.
The following are the names of the individuals to whom complaints may be directed: Lisa
Araujo, Ellen Bogolub, Jane Fisher, Kermit Frazier, Jeffrey Kessler, James McGowan, Ruth
McShane, Angela Price and Sally Ridgeway.
The Reporting Process
Any member of the University community who believes that he or she has been the object
of harassment in violation of this policy or believes that he or she has been treated in an
unlawful, discriminatory manner is encouraged to report the complaint immediately to a panel
member or to file an anonymous complaint online at adelphi.edu/hr/harassmentreport.php.
The complainant has the option of initiating the complaint in person by meeting with a
member of the Anti-Harassment Panel or through Adelphi University’s online complaint form at
adelphi.edu/hr/harassmentreport.php.
Formal Action
A complaint could be filed with any panel member, who will assist the complainant in filing a detailed
written description of the actions, dates, incident(s), persons involved, witnesses, and other pertinent
information. After meeting with the complainant, the panel member will ask the assistant vice president
for human resources and labor relations (for employees and nonstudents) and/or the dean of student
affairs (for students), or their designees, to consult and assist in the investigative process applicable as
detailed below:
Complaints against faculty members: The chief academic officer, or his/her designated
representative, will take action for investigation into charges of violations of this antiharassment
policy by faculty members. The provost or the provost’s designee will be involved
in any investigation involving an allegation against a faculty member. If an investigation is
started, or a charge against a faculty member is made, the individual faculty member will be
notified and be able to seek American Association of University Professors (AAUP) involvement.
Faculty members shall be subject to the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement
between the University and the Adelphi University chapter of the AAUP. Any faculty member
who, after appropriate investigation, has been found to have harassed another member of the
University community, will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include reprimand,
suspension from service for a stated period (with or without pay), termination of employment,
or such other lesser penalties deemed appropriate for the violation. Individuals who appeal
any formal disciplinary action taken against any faculty member covered by the Collective
Bargaining Agreement shall have access to the specified contractual appeal procedure.
Complaints against nonfaculty employees: The assistant vice president for human resources
and labor relations will take action for investigation into charges of violations of this
anti-harassment policy by nonfaculty employees. Any individual who, after appropriate
investigation, has been found to have harassed another member of the University community,
