Investigations protect both the employee and the university.
The refusal by any university employee to submit to a search, inspection, or examination of one's personal property may result in disciplinary action, which may include termination. The university reserves the right to use any lawful method of investigation which in its sole discretion it deems reasonable and necessary to determine whether any employee has engaged in conduct warranting disciplinary action. The results of the investigation will be made available only to those employees with a bona fide need to have access to it. Any university employee found to be using or in the possession of illegal or unauthorized items, is subject to immediate termination of employment. Those employees whom the university has reason to believe have engaged in actions contrary to the policies or best interest of the university may be subject to termination.
