Please note that the identity of the reporting party is not shared with the student organization.<\/li>\n<li>Reporting an incident does not automatically mean that the group will be suspended\/removed from the university. SCCS staff investigate and recommend the appropriate outcomes based on the investigation findings, organizational history, and additional factors. SCCS prioritizes educating individuals and organizations wherever possible.<\/li>\n<li>Reporting an incident as soon as possible after witnessing or becoming aware of it allows SCCS staff to hold the organization accountable, keep students safe, and take steps to prevent the incident from happening again.<\/li>\n<li>Including as much information as possible is incredibly helpful during an investigation. Consider including pictures, videos, dates and times, specific locations, individuals involved, and individuals who SCCS should consider meeting with as witnesses.<\/li>\n<li>If you are unsure if an incident is a violation of the Code, SCCS recommends completing an incident report anyway. SCCS can then investigate and provide resources and education to the student organization, if needed, or close out the case if it is not a violation of the Code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some incidents, organizational charges and individual charges may be issued.
