NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY AND COMPLAINT PROCEDURES

III. REPORTING A HARASSMENT COMPLAINT

All individuals who believe they have been harassed should file a complaint with the appropriate individuals or offices cited above. Verbal complaints should be reduced to writing by either the complainant or the individual who receives the complaint in order to preserve an accurate record. The written complaint should identify the parties involved; describe the harassing behavior; when and where it occurred; and identify by name or description any witnesses.

Complaints should be promptly reported so that appropriate action may be taken in a timely manner. However, the late reporting of complaints may not prevent appropriate remedial action.

Any conduct that may be in violation of this policy will be investigated, regardless of whether a complaint is filed, and appropriate remedial action will be initiated.

Effort shall be made to complete the investigation of a complaint within thirty (30) days of the report of the harassment. Extensions of the time frame may be necessary in some circumstances. The complainant and alleged harasser will be notified of the extension.
