Heading: Further Investigation

Text: Resumption of the investigation began with supplementary evidence gathering. The fact finder and subcommittee conducted additional interviews with the complainant and accused as well as with witnesses, if any. The further probing ended with the delivery of a written disciplinary case report (DCR) from the subcommittee to the full Ad Board. This comprehensive summary of the investigation included all the statements and documents collected during the investigation and could also include a recommended outcome for disciplinary action. This DCR got sent to the complainant and to the accused prior to a full Ad Board meeting.9 Before commencement of that meeting, each student could communicate a written response to the DCR through their Board Rep. During the Ad Board's deliberations, members discussed the DCR and written responses from the students, if any, and moved (as happened here) to phase three of the process.
