Your explicit permission or instruction will determine whether a complaint is carried forward by the Board. 5. You may discuss a complaint without being identified to the person named in the complaint, although the full formal procedure cannot go forward unless you are willing to be identified to the person named. 6. If you decide to make a formal complaint, you will be kept informed of the Board's activities, as will the person named in the complaint. 7. Any attempt to penalize you for initiating an inquiry or a complaint will be treated as a separate incident and will be taken up by the Board. 8. You may wish to discuss sexual harassment with someone other than a member of the Board.

In the case of student-to-student complaints, only the Yale College Executive Committee may impose penalties. |
