An incident can be reported to the Residence Office by anyone. This includes: Residence community members, off-campus students, staff, faculty, and administration. If there is an incident or concern related to any residence community member in or outside of residence, or there is a community impact, reporting this allows the Residence Office to manage and support the community through accountability.<\/p>\n
All incidents will be documented by any member of the Residence Staff.<\/p>\n
Any students connected to a documented incident an expect a meeting request from a Residence Staff member. Communication will be sent to the student email (@brandonu.ca) or the applicable email on file. It is the expectation that students respond to meeting requests within the time frame outlined by Residence Staff.<\/p>\n
Residence Staff managing the incident will make decisions, or provide a letter outlining the outcomes, for incidents that are under their review. Decisions are made solely on the situation that has been documented; however, previous incident outcomes will weigh on future outcomes to identify best solutions to support the individual’s success in residence.<\/p>\n
Decisions will be based on the balance of probability (standard of proof), which means that the evidence shows it is more likely than not the alleged behaviour occurred.<\/p>\n
