Update Comments: The policy was revised to align with ATIXA's "One Policy, Two Procedures" model, which separates processes for handling complaints based on the identity of the responding party (e.g., students vs. employees). This approach enhances clarity by applying a single overarching policy with distinct procedural paths, ensuring consistent standards while allowing tailored responses for different campus groups. The update promotes transparency, compliance, and a more streamlined process for all parties involved.
