Problem
A sexual harassment investigation was just completed and concluded that the accused harasser was not guilty of the alleged conduct. There are serious doubts about the veracity of the complainant, but it was decided not to take any disciplinary action against her. The investigation involved interviewing more than a dozen co-workers, and it is clear that the complaint is well-known within the company. The alleged harasser is demanding formal exoneration. He would also prefer not to continue working in the same small department as the complainant. What would the recommended course of action be? What are the reasons for recommending and rejecting alternative courses of action?
