Investigation Manual: A Process for Conducting Non-Title IX Employee and Student Inquiries

2026 Edition

School administrators often are required to “look into” or “investigate” allegations of wrongdoing by students and employees. This manual can be used in non-Title IX investigations to help you understand why it is important to conduct an investigation in a particular way, as well as provide you with form documents and scripts to facilitate recordkeeping and information gathering related to the allegations.

Unique to this product is a series of flow charts that guide you through each phase of an investigation so that critical steps or details that might haunt you later don’t get overlooked.
