The WCU maintains the confidentiality of investigations to the greatest extent possible. Complete confidentiality may not be possible because it may be necessary for an investigator to disclose certain information obtained during the course of an investigation in order to conduct a thorough investigation. It should be noted that certain documents will be released in cases where sexual harassment claims have been substantiated against a Member or a high-level legislative employee, and the house has imposed discipline or has determined that the allegations are well-founded based on the Panel’s findings.  The documents to be released will be the claim filed and the letter provided to the subject of the investigation, which will include a summary of the Panel’s factual findings.  All documents will redact the personally identifying information of the accuser and witnesses, for privacy reasons.
