Confidentiality

Chamberlain wishes to create an environment in which individuals feel free to discuss concerns. Chamberlain understands that students, witnesses and others involved in the investigation process may be concerned about the confidentiality of information they are sharing. In some cases, however, Chamberlain may be obligated to take action when it becomes aware of information relating to a complaint. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible and consistent with Chamberlain’s obligations in investigating complaints. Once an individual discloses identifying information to Chamberlain through the processes described above, they will be considered to have filed a complaint with Chamberlain. While the confidentiality of information received, the privacy of individuals involved, and compliance with the wishes of the student or witnesses cannot be guaranteed, they will be respected to the extent possible and appropriate.
