As the new school year gets underway, you must be aware of your 2022-23 privacy obligations while handling sexual misconduct complaints and investigations. Now is the time to update your policies and practices to confirm your institution’s compliance and avoid serious and expensive mistakes.

It is necessary to follow regulatory requirements and your institution’s ethics of care while ensuring that your students are treated consistently and confidentially.
