Investigation durations are calculated in business days from when the Notice of Investigation is issued by OPHD to the date a completed investigation report is issued. Adjudication durations represent the duration of the following period, ending with the issuance of a sanctioning decision (including the outcome of an appeals process, if any, in student respondent cases).
In 2021-2022, the median duration of investigations of SVSH matters involving student respondents was 121 business days. The adjudication of cases involving student respondents took slightly less time at 119 days (median). Investigations involving employee respondents took a median of 91 business days to complete, while adjudications took a median of 42 business days.
