University Complaint Investigation & Resolution Office (UCIRO)

A UCIRO Investigation and Resolution Specialist acts as a neutral and objective fact-finder under the procedures outlined in the Administrative Policy Statements, Section 46.3. The Specialist will interview the person making the allegations, the employee whose conduct is of concern, and other appropriate persons in order to determine the pertinent facts. The Specialist will discuss resolution with the person making the allegations and may discuss resolution further with the interested parties, which may lead to the matter being resolved prior to completing the investigation. Investigations are typically concluded within 60 business days. Generally, when the Specialist completes a UCIRO investigation requested by an individual, the Specialist prepares a report, which contains a list of persons interviewed and a description of the Specialist’s factual findings and conclusions. Typically, copies of the report are provided to the person who requested the UCIRO investigation, the employee or employees whose conduct was the subject of the allegations of concern, and appropriate University personnel. There is no internal appeal mechanism.

All persons wishing to request a UCIRO investigation or obtain additional information about the investigation and resolution process should contact the office’s main line at (206) 616-2028. University policy prohibits retaliation for reporting concerns regarding discrimination, cooperating with any investigation of discrimination, or participating in the complaint process.
