When a student or employee alleges discrimination or harassment, an independent investigation is a vital early step in meeting your institution’s obligations under federal law.

Evergreen Education Solutions provides thorough, neutral, and independent investigations of discrimination and harassment complaints that arise on your campus. We have conducted and overseen thousands of investigations involving complex, sensitive, and high-stakes matters alleging race, color, national origin, shared ancestry, sex, gender identity, disability, and age discrimination. We have the experience to ask the right questions and gather the most critical evidence.

In addition, we understand not only what the law requires, but also how to conduct investigations that are fair, thorough, trauma-informed, and appropriate to the educational context. We are highly experienced in interviewing and engaging with individuals across all levels of an institution: from very young children to graduate students, faculty and staff, and senior leadership. Our training and experience allow us to navigate each conversation with empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that all participants are treated with respect and that the investigative process is reliable, balanced, and trustworthy. Our approach is rooted in deep knowledge of investigative best practices – including procedural rigor, impartial fact-gathering, and clear documentation – while remaining attuned to the human aspects of each case.

At the conclusion of the investigation, Evergreen will deliver a thorough, final investigative report that complies with the law and your institution’s policies and procedures. Your institution’s decision-makers and hearing officers can confidently rely on this investigative report in reaching the final decision in each case.
