protect the community, to investigate and pursue a resolution when a complainant chooses not to initiate or participate in a formal complaint. From the time of the initial complaint the Title IX Coordinator will make every effort to resolve within 60 days.

A. Role of the Title IX Coordinator and/or designee

The Title IX Coordinator is charged with coordinating the University's response to reports of misconduct under this policy and federal guidelines provided by OCR. At times a trained designee will be appointed to further investigate complaints filed. The role of the Title IX Coordinator or designee is a complex role that:

  1. Works to ensure a fair and neutral process for all parties consistent with the University's policies;
  2. Explains options for resolution, both formal and informal to both parties;
  3. Communicates the provisions for confidentiality;
  4. Provides both parties information on options for obtaining victim advocacy, medical and counseling & mental health services, legal assistance, visa & immigration assistance, student financial aid, and other remedial accommodations available;
  5. Assists with making criminal reports;
  6. Coordinates with other campus officials to take appropriate interim actions such as no contact orders, academic accommodations, and rearrangement of housing, dining, and work assignments.

Remedial Accommodations:

Several remedial accommodations are available to the complainant in writing, including but not limited to, classroom accommodations, no contact orders, no trespass orders, counseling services, residential living accommodations, and/or other accommodations that can help create an increased feeling of safety.

In addition, if the University feels that the respondent is a continued threat on our campus, the University has the right to impose temporary suspension until resolution of the investigation.
