• University officials will treat the incident seriously and that the incident will be investigated and adjudicated by appropriate criminal and/or University officials. Proceedings shall be conducted by officials trained on sexual assault and other intimate partner violence issues, and shall use preponderance of the evidence standard (which is “more likely than not” and the standard used by civil courts in the United States).
