Job Summary

The Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance encourages applications for an Equity and Compliance Investigator and Case Resolutions Specialist to join our case resolutions team.

The position of Investigator and Case Resolutions Specialist in the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) at the University of Colorado Boulder is a strategic position that aids in the prevention and adjudication of incidents of protected class harassment, discrimination, sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence, stalking, and related retaliation at CU Boulder. Investigators educate the CU Boulder community about the University policies on sexual misconduct, protected class discrimination and harassment, and amorous relationships and advise these constituents about the procedures to file a complaint and the grievance and adjudication processes. The Investigator will work with others on the case resolutions team to address allegations of potential policy violations and use other remedies-based options to tailor specific resolutions to the unique facts and circumstances of an incident(s).
