UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO OFFICIALS SAY THEY’LL PICK UP THE PACE ON INVESTIGATING A SEX ASSAULT AND HARRASSMENT CASE INVOLVING A UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE. THIS FOLLOWS THIS YEAR’S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REPORT THAT FOUND UNM NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL GENDER ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAWS. IT MAINLY CONCERNS THE DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS PROCEDURE.
UNM ADMINISTRATORS OVERSEEING THE INVESTIGATION CHANGES SAY THEY STARTED THAT PROCESS BEFORE THE DOJ REPORT WAS RELEASED.
