'''Finding.''' The EthicsPoint report was filed September 18, 2025 and closed September 25, 2025 (seven days) with a generic resolution. The organization noted it was unable to access the Notion URL that held the primary evidence and asked for screenshots, indicating the central evidence repository may not have been fully reviewed before closure.

'''Evidence.''' EthicsPoint closure dated September 25, 2025; the organization separately noted it could not access the Notion URL and requested screenshots. Source Group: Prelicensure Student Handbook 2026 (SICCED09255468); Defense Bundles 2026-04-29 / 2026-04-30.

'''Reported statement.''' <blockquote>We were able to meet with the other party involved and address the concerns shared here.</blockquote>

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 4 (integrity processes must be applied); 34 C.F.R. 602.16 (institutional complaint handling, relevant to accreditation review). A seven-day closure that did not access the primary evidence raises an investigation-adequacy concern. Lead: {{HU|HU-026}}. See {{HU|HU-067}} (investigation adequacy).

'''Impact.''' If the central evidence was not reviewed before closing, the resolution rests on an incomplete record, which weakens any reliance on the outcome.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-026}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06. Cross-reference {{HU|HU-067}}.
