Outcome of Sexual Harassment Complaints
G. Johnson made this Official Information request to Victoria University of Wellington
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for G. Johnson to read recent responses and update the status.
From: G. Johnson
Dear Victoria University of Wellington,
It has come to my attention that the outcome of sexual harassment complaints at VUW are not available to the victims. I would like to know the nature and outcome of all sexual harassment complaints this year, that have been reported, and given to the Student Interest and Dispute Resolution Adviser (SIDRA). Especially in cases where such outcomes involved a complaint classed as level 3 by the SIDRA. I understand that this could provoke confidentiality issues, therefore I am not expecting names.
Furthermore I would like to know where in the legislation it states that victims of sexual harassment may not know the outcome from the disciplinary committee. As nothing in the student disciplinary stature states that victims are not entitled to know the outcome of the complaint.
Yours faithfully,
G. Johnson
