UBC policies regarding investigation processes

There are many governance policies at UBC due to the variety of roles and situations that may arise. Each of these governance documents contains specific processes and specific definitions that cannot be generalized to apply to other governance documents. These policies are the legal foundation for processes and procedures around a harassment or discrimination complaint.
