EOA is able to conduct an investigation when the reported concern suggests a potential violation of university policy.
Many reports do not rise to the level of a policy violation. However, even on reports that would qualify for investigation, many complainants choose resolution approaches other than the investigatory process.
EOA respects the expressed wishes of complainants to not proceed with an investigation except in rare cases when there is an ongoing concern to campus safety.
In FY25, EOA engaged in 32 active investigations, comprised of 23 students investigated and 9 employees investigated. Of these investigations, sexual misconduct accounted for 25, with 7 investigations related to concerns of discrimination.
10 of these investigations began prior to FY25 and continued to be investigated during FY25.
