Rules and Procedures Related to Sexual and Moral Misconduct

BTC365致力于维护所有涉及性行为和道德不端行为报告的个人的隐私. 与不当行为报告有关的信息将仅与BTC365员工共享，这些员工需要知道这些信息，以便协助审查和/或调查和解决投诉.

It is important to note that in some situations, and provided that the underlying facts are confirmed, the law may require BTC365 to report the offense to the French authorities. In such a case, BTC365 will explain the reasons to the complainant and provide support throughout the process. Under no circumstances will BTC365 obligate a complainant to participate in an investigation.

BTC365认识到，是否报告性或道德不端行为的决定是个人的，报告有许多障碍, 无论是个人还是社会. Not every individual will be prepared to make a report to BTC365 or to law enforcement, and individuals are not expected or required to pursue a specific course of action. BTC365 recognizes that choosing to make a report, and deciding how to proceed after making the report, can be a process that unfolds over time. 尽最大可能, BTC365将尊重个人在做出这些重要决定时的自主权，并提供支持，帮助每个人做出决定.

As outlined in the Resources section of this policy, 对于那些不想向BTC365报告的个人来说，校外和社区里有很多资源可供使用.

值得注意的是，任何故意作虚假报告的人都可能因虚假告发而被追究刑事责任.

Reporting

学生如欲提交报告，请联络学生发展学系辅导小组(guidancecounselingsugarcoatedchef.com). Reporting is entirely confidential and is always optional – never mandatory. 在报道的时候, students may request additional resources including an informal resolution, the launch of a formal complaint or assistance filing a police report. They may also choose to take no further action.

在报道的时候, the guidance counselor may recommend interim measures and may also consult with the Dean of Students, the Vice President of Student Services, the Provost or other offices to implement and enforce these measures, including:

• a restraining order to prevent contact between a complainant and a respondent;
• changes in housing assignment for one or both parties;
• 学术住宿;
• emotional and other support; and
• counseling.

These interim measures may be applied even if the student decides to take no further action. As outlined in the Resources section of this policy, there are off campus resources available to individuals not wishing to make a report to BTC365. It should also be noted that students may choose to report to a member of faculty, 教职员或同学. Faculty, BTC365鼓励员工和学生仔细阅读有关性行为和道德不端行为的政策. While never obligated to report incidents reported to them, faculty, 教职员及学生可随时联络学生发展学系的辅导辅导小组，寻求支援及建议(guidancecounselingsugarcoatedchef.com). See also the resources outlined later in this policy.

In the case where another member of the BTC365 community stands accused, a student may choose to file a formal complaint, thus initiating a disciplinary process. 指导顾问, 学生发展主任或学生副主席可以向学生解释提交正式投诉的过程, including issues related to privacy and confidentiality. 

视情况而定, students may choose at this stage to proceed with one of the following:

非正式的决议. Informal resolutions are generally pursued when the complainant, having been fully informed of all available options, 明确地做出了选择吗. An informal resolution process is voluntary, 投诉人或被投诉人可以在非正式解决程序完成前的任何时间要求终止该程序. Once a report has been resolved through an informal resolution process, the matter will be closed.

Mediation. The complainant may ask for mediation to resolve his or her report. Both parties must consent to mediation. The guidance counselor may lead mediation or may ask other parties to take a lead, including but not limited to the 学生发展主任, the Vice President of Students or outside counselors. 当当事双方以书面形式就调解结果达成一致，且调解负责人也能接受时，即视为圆满解决. At any stage during the mediation process, 投诉人或被投诉人可以终止调解并选择开始正式的投诉程序.

正式投诉. 违反性行为和道德不端政策的投诉应直接提交给学生发展主任. A guidance counselor can assist a student in filing a formal complaint. Formal complaints must be made in writing. In order to institute a formal complaint, the following information is essential:

• 被告姓名(如知)
• A description with reasonable specificity of the incident(s) of alleged misconduct, including the date and place of such incident(s)
• A list of any sources of potential information (e.g., witnesses, correspondence, records, etc.) that the victim or third-party believes may be relevant to the investigation.

每学年开始的时候, 四名教职员和四名教员将被召集到性行为和道德不端委员会任职, chaired by the 学生发展主任. All members of the committee will receive appropriate training.

Once a formal complaint has been filed, 学生发展主任会立即召集委员会的一名成员与他或她一起进行调查, reviewing and responding to all reports of sexual and moral misconduct. 该委员会将认真对待每一项调查，了解每一个有关人员的观点和经验，以确保公平和公正的评价和解决. Should allegations of sexual misconduct be found to be true, disciplinary action will be initiated.

投诉人和被投诉人可各自选择一人作为其顾问，该顾问可出席与院长和指定委员会成员的所有会议. The advisor is not allowed to directly address the Dean, the committee member or witnesses. The advisor cannot serve as a witness. Disruptive advisors will be removed from the process, and the process will continue. 如果学生计划带一名顾问，学生必须提前一个工作日通知学生发展主任.

The investigation process is conducted in five steps:

1. 院长和指定的委员会成员将会见学生答辩人，以便就指控提供书面通知, provide the respondent with a copy of the policy and its procedures, 告知被投诉人其在本政策下的权利，并回答有关本政策的任何问题, process and procedures that the respondent may have.
2. 被投诉人将有五(5)个工作日的时间向院长和指定的委员会成员提交对指控的书面答复. 无论被投诉人是否选择参与调查，调查都将继续进行.
3. The Dean and appointed committee member will proceed with an investigation, 根据现有证据，尽其所能确定是否发生了违反政策的行为.
4. 院长和指定的委员会成员将酌情要求与投诉人和被投诉人提供的证人单独面谈. Witnesses may also include those identified by a university representative, 经其他证人指认者, and any other persons that the Dean and appointed committee member consider it proper to interview.
5. 在某种程度上，院长和指定的委员会成员的最终报告得出结论，违规行为已经发生, the report will include appropriate sanctions. 院长及委任的委员会成员会同时以书面通知投诉人及答辩人最终调查结果. Such notification shall include the process, reasons for and deadline for appealing the investigators’ finding.
