Together, we will set the highest standards for how we treat each other to ensure our community is welcoming to all and is a place where all can thrive.

The University of Rochester’s Office for Equity & Inclusion is seeking an Equal Employment Opportunity & Title IX Investigator. The Equal Employment Opportunity Investigator investigates complaints of harassment and discrimination based on a protected class, and retaliation, pursuant to the University’s Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment, Title IX Policy, and Student Sexual Misconduct Policy.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Investigator conducts investigations in ways that build trust within the University community, to sustain a fair and just climate, culture and community overall.

This will be achieved by:

• Assessing the content of complaints and making appropriate judgments about which sources of information to consult to determine the need for investigation versus other means of resolution. When appropriate, connect associated individuals with resources that may provide support, guidance and assistance.

• Timely communication with complainants, respondents and others regarding the plan, timeline and findings, using discretion, impartiality and confidentiality. The investigator exercises professional judgment to change investigation plans as appropriate.

• Presenting factual findings in reports to decision-makers across the University.

• Close coordination with the Associate Vice President of Civil Rights Compliance and Title IX Coordinator, Director of Equal Employment Opportunity Investigations, and Associate Director of Equal Opportunity Investigations to ensure strategic alignment of work and forward movement of processes.
