Policy on Reporting Sexual Harassment Findings

Background: on September 21, 2018, National Science Foundation published updated term and
condition for awards in which NSF mandated that universities report the following:

  1. Any findings or determinations that an NSF-funded principal investigator or co-principal investigator
    committed harassment, including sexual harassment or sexual assault.
  2. The placement of the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on administrative leave, or of
    the imposition of any administrative action relating to a harassment or sexual assault finding or
    investigation.

In response to this mandate, Illinois Wesleyan University has established a Policy on Reporting Sexual
Harassment Findings, which is to comply with the federal mandate using the process described below:

  1. When needed, the Title IX Coordinator will request a list of ALL NSF-funded personnel (faculty, staff,
    and students) from the Grants and Foundation Relations Office.
  2. If reporting is required, the Title IX Coordinator as authorized organizational representative will
    submit notification within 10 business days from the date of the finding/determination, or the date of
    the placement of a PI or co-PI by the awardee on administrative leave or the imposition of an administrative action, whichever is sooner.
  3.
