Few matters are more sensitive and
difficult to deal with than allegations of sexual harassment. The very nature of the
subject matter and the circumstances often make these cases among the most difficult to
investigate. Yet allegations cannot be ignored. If ignored or otherwise improperly
handled, they can result in significant liability or embarrassment to the institution.
Such allegations are also not uncommon--since 1992 the EEOC alone has processed over
150,000 complaints of sexual harassment. This program is designed to focus on the most difficult yet common and recurring issues in sexual harassment investigation and provide counsel and others involved in campus sexual harassment investigations with tools, techniques and guidance they can use to initiate, conduct and bring to a successful conclusion even the most challenging investigations.

Program registrants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the program, and are also invited to submit questions in advance for review by the panelists. Each registered site for the program will receive a complimentary copy of NACUA's publication How to Conduct a Sexual Harassment Investigation, 2nd edition, by Elsa Kircher Cole and Thomas P. Hustoles. Panelists include NACUA member Thomas P. Hustoles of the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone and Jackie McClain, Vice Chancellor for Human Resources of the California State University System. NACUA member Kaye L. Koonce, General Counsel and Executive Assistant to the President at Trident Technical College, will moderate the program. This program will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise institutions on employment discrimination matters, and in particular on matters involving sexual harassment law and investigations. The presenters will assume registrants are generally familiar with the law governing sexual harassment and the legal and procedural issues that can arise in sexual harassment investigations. Other campus administrators who will benefit from the program
include human resources personnel, EEO and affirmative action officers, campus
ombudspersons, compliance officers and any campus administrator who may be involved in
investigating allegations of sexual harassment. After reviewing the program schedule,
members may wish to consider inviting these or other administrators on their campuses with
responsibilities related to sexual harassment investigations to attend the program. |
