Dismissal of a Formal Complaint may occur under several circumstances. Chamberlain must dismiss a Formal Complaint if the allegations do not meet the definition of Sexual Harassment, did not occur in Chamberlain’s education Program or Activity or did not occur against a person in the United States.

Chamberlain may dismiss a Formal Complaint if the Complainant informs the Title IX Coordinator, in writing, that they withdraw the Formal Complaint or allegations therein; the Respondent is no longer enrolled or employed by Chamberlain; or if specific circumstances prevent Chamberlain from gathering sufficient evidence to reach a determination.

If a Formal Complaint is dismissed, the parties will be provided written notice of the dismissal outlining the reason(s) for dismissal. A dismissal does not preclude action by Chamberlain under its Sex and Gender-Based Sexual Misconduct Response and Prevention Policy.
