Regulations Governing Prevention of Gender-Related Incidents on Campuses Article 30

In accordance with the principles of respecting professional judgment and avoiding repetitive questioning, the educational institution or competent authority with jurisdiction shall make a determination of the facts pertaining to a campus gender-related incident based on the investigation report of its gender committee.If the gender committee meets and reviews an investigation report and finds that a campus gender-related incident did occur and makes a recommendation, based on its determination of the facts, to the educational institution or competent authority to handle the matter by changing the status of the offender, the educational institution or competent authority shall notify the offender of the time limit in which to submit a written statement and attach a copy of the investigation report that was reviewed and approved at the gender committee meeting.If the offender referred to in the preceding paragraph does not submit a written statement within the time limit, it will be deemed as their forfeiting the opportunity to make a statement; if the offender makes a written statement, the gender committee shall convene another meeting to consider the offender's written statement. A reinvestigation is not permitted unless the gender committee discovers that there was some significant flaw in the investigation procedure or there is some new fact or new evidence that is sufficient to affect the outcome of the original investigation.When the responsible unit of the educational institution or competent authority that decides the disciplinary action is reviewing the disciplinary action to be taken, except in the circumstances stipulated in Paragraph 3 of Article 37 of the Act, it is not permitted to require the gender committee to reinvestigate the case and it is not permitted to conduct its own investigation.When the review off the disciplinary action referred to in the preceding paragraph, in accordance with the provisions of the associated regulations, shall give the offender an opportunity to make a statement of defense, the responsible unit of the educational institution or competent authority shall provide a copy of the investigation report reviewed and approved by the gender committee to the offender.Before making the decision on the disciplinary action referred to in Paragraph 4, the responsible unit shall notify the victim, or their legal representative or actual caregiver to submit a written or oral statement by a specified time. If an statement is made orally, the responsible unit shall create a printed transcript of the statement for the victim, their legal representative, or actual caregiver to sign or affix their personal seal to after the transcript has been read aloud to them or they have personally read it, and they have confirmed that it contains no errors. If a person fails to submit a written statement by the specified time, it will be deemed as their forfeiting the opportunity to make a statement. If a written statement is submitted, the unit authorized to decide the disciplinary action shall consider the written statement.
