WHAT TO DO ABOUT TITLE IX SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

A person who reasonably believes that Sexual Harassment (including Sexual Assault, Quid Pro Quo Harassment, Hostile Environment Harassment, 暴力的关系, 跟踪, and Sexual Exploitation) may have occurred can file either a 报告或者一个 正式投诉. Anyone can file a “报告,” 但 a “正式投诉” can be filed only by the alleged victim (called the complainant).

The University’s response will differ depending on whether a 报告 or 正式投诉 is filed. Filing a “报告” will trigger a University response that includes an initial assessment and offers of supportive and remedial measures. Filing a “正式投诉” will trigger this same response, 但, 除了, it may also trigger the University’s 第九条 resolution process, which may involve an investigation and hearing.

Upon receipt of a Formal Complaint, the 第九条协调员或者一个 Deputy 第九条协调员 will contact the Complainant with information on available resources. The 第九条 Office will conduct an initial inquiry into the Formal Complaint’s allegations to determine whether the allegations are sufficient to proceed to an investigation. The 第九条 Office will dismiss a Formal Complaint that lacks allegations that are eligible to proceed under 第九条. In the event of a dismissal of the Formal Complaint, the 第九条 Office will provide written notice of the dismissal to both parties, advising them of their right to appeal. If one or more of the allegations in the Formal Complaint survives the initial assessment, the 第九条 office will contact the parties to notify them about those allegation(s) that are eligible to proceed to a 第九条 resolution.

Reporting to Local Law Enforcement

Sexual Harassment, relationship violence and stalking may also be criminal. Complainants may wish to inform local law enforcement agencies; upon a complainant’s request, the University will assist in making the connection between a complainant and an appropriate law enforcement agency.
