TITLE IX FORMAL INVESTIGATION AND HEARING PROCEDURE

Carthage will use this procedure to investigate every formal complaint with the jurisdiction and scope of this Policy.

Carthage will follow this procedure as closely as possible, being mindful that circumstances may limit its ability to investigate, conduct a hearing, and levy sanctions.
