No staff member or student of the University shall be subject to victimization or reprisal for initiating a good faith complaint, for participating in mediation, for providing information in the complaint investigation processes, or for participating in the formal disciplinary procedures. However, the University reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any staff member or student making a false complaint or intentionally providing false information in any mediation or complaint process.

The procedure for handling complaints of victimization will broadly replicate the process of handling complaints of sexual harassment, except that the Panel Convenor will make the final decision.

If it can be demonstrated that an act of victimization has been committed, the University will take action according to the prevailing disciplinary procedures or other appropriate rules and regulations of the University.
