The university will take steps to assist and protect individuals who report sexual misconduct or seek confidential assistance. The Title IX Coordinator or a designee will discuss potential assistance during an initial meeting with the complaining party. Persons who wish to remain confidential should contact the Office of Survivor Support, which can refer them to a Sexual Assault Advocate, who can help obtain assistance without triggering a formal investigation.
Assistance may include, but is not limited to:
- Modifying class or work schedules as necessary;
- Making alternate housing or workplace arrangements;
- Addressing other academic or workplace concerns (e.g. assignments, leaves of absence, and withdrawal); and
- Providing additional and/or targeted educational programming and training.
The university may also issue orders prohibiting contact between the complainant, the accused, and/or any other member of the university community. While these accommodations are most commonly provided to complainants, the university may also make accommodations for the accused or any other person, where it deems them necessary for a prompt, fair, and impartial resolution.
