False Allegations

A false accusation of harassment or discrimination that is unreasonably made also constitutes misconduct under these policies, and any such claim is subject to the provisions set forth in this policy. A false accusation does not mean one in which the evidence ultimately does not prove the claim, but rather one in which the allegation brought forth is knowingly false and/or made in bad faith. Each party and every witness are expected to provide truthful information to the Investigator, Determination Panel or Hearing Panel, and Appeals Officer. Knowing failure to provide truthful information is sanctionable conduct under this and other Seminary policies.
