The Non-Retaliation Policy explains that, "No person, including parties and witnesses, who, in good
faith, reports or participates in a misconduct investigation at DePaul shall be subject to retaliation or
threat of retaliation. Retaliation shall include, but is not limited to, actions taken without legitimate,
non-retaliatory business purpose and have a materially adverse effect on a person's employment,
advancement, scholarship, performance, habitation, safety or property. By definition, any act of
retaliation constitutes reportable misconduct. The finding of retaliation, or threat of retaliation, shall
constitute a violation of this policy. Any such acts of retaliation in violation of this policy will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment."
