Many factors can affect the length of an investigation in any particular case, for example:
- The type and total number of allegations and policies at issue;
- The nature and volume of the documentation submitted as evidence;
- The number and length of interviews with the parties;
- The number of witnesses interviewed and the length of those interviews;
- Whether a complaint is filed by a reporter on behalf of others, a cross-complaint, and/or factually interrelated with other complaints;
- Scheduling challenges, including special academic obligations, University holidays, and party/witness unavailability;
- Extensions of time for parties, including for the availability of a personal advisor;
- Adding allegations over the course of an investigation; and
- The submission of new information from a party or witness in the latest stages of the investigative process.
Disclosure: A disclosure is when an individual shares information regarding sexual harassment, other sexual misconduct, or related retaliation with a Title IX resource. Individuals may choose to disclose in order to understand their available options, access support, or inform the University of their experience. Sharing a disclosure is not the same as a filing a formal a complaint.
Formal complaint: A formal complaint is a written and signed statement alleging a violation of Harvard University policies prohibiting sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct and requesting an investigation. For complaints under the Interim Other Sexual Misconduct Policy, a complaint can be filed by the complainant or by a third party filing on behalf of a potential complainant (a “reporter”), while a complaint under the Interim Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy may only be filed by a complainant or signed by the University Title IX Coordinator. Submitting a complaint to the University Title IX Coordinator starts the formal complaint process.
