The Lowdown 23-24

4.3.2 Contact with the Parties
The Title IX Coordinator, the Associate Title IX Coordinator, or their
designee (often a trained support advocate) will contact the potential
complainant of the conduct reported. The Title IX Coordinator or their
designee will advise the potential complainant of their options under the
policy and otherwise, including:
● Voluntarily contacting parents or a relative;
● Seeking legal advice;
● Seeking personal counseling through the University’s
counseling center;
● Contacting law enforcement with the University’s assistance;
● Requesting an investigation and making a formal complaint under
the Complaint Resolution Procedures;
● Requesting that no further action be taken and that the
potential complainant’s identity not be disclosed; and/or
● Seeking interim measures, such as housing or academic assistance.
The Title IX Coordinator or their designee will give the potential
complainant a written document that outlines these options and provides
contact information for local resources and support organizations.
If a formal complaint is filed, the Title IX Coordinator, or a designee, will contact
the respondent of the conduct reported. The Title IX Coordinator or their
designee will advise the respondent of the process and options under the policy.
There is a presumption that the respondent is not responsible for the reported
conduct, pending the outcome of the process.
4.3.3 Interim Measures
Interim measures are temporary measures taken to ensure equal and
continuing access to University programs and activities and to ensure the
safety of the University Community. They do not constitute a finding of
guilt and may be removed if a report or complaint is found not to be
substantiated.
