Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The measure directly restrains a named moral harm, sexual harassment, by requiring preservation and public release of settlement records. This promotes accountability and resists concealment of misconduct, which fits the good classification.
Theological note: The measure bears on the Christian concern for justice toward victims of sexual abuse and for bringing hidden wrongdoing into the light (Ephesians 5:11-12; Luke 8:17). It also touches the duty of officials to act truthfully and answer for misconduct, which falls under general equity in civil ethics.
