What actually happens in an investigation?
A. You should be asked about the incident without the harasser being present. You most likely will be asked to describe what happened, where it happened, when, and who witnessed the incident. You should expect to be asked whether there have been any similar incidents in the past, and if so, to provide detailed information about them. You will probably be asked to give a written statement. You should be asked to provide the names of anyone else whom you believe would have relevant information. You also should be asked what you would like to see happen as a resolution of the matter. After others are interviewed, you might be asked additional questions, or for clarification of some points. At the end of the investigation, a decision should be made about what happened. If there was inappropriate conduct, the next decision to be made is what action will be taken to avoid a recurrence of this conduct.
