A "respondent" or "responding party" is someone designated to respond to a report submitted to the 第九条 Team. 一般, the Respondent is someone alleged to be responsible for behavior that is in violation of the university's 第九条 Sexual Harassment Policy.
If a member of the 第九条 Team contacts you, it is important to keep in mind that they are not taking action at that time, but rather would like to meet with you to follow-up on the report and further discuss the situation. When you meet with 第九条 Coordinator or designee initially, you will not be required to provide a response or any information that day, but will instead be given time to prepare and submit your response to the report at a later date.
A respondent is presumed to be not responsible throughout the process until, 如果, a preponderance of the evidence supports a finding that the Respondent violated the Policy.
