WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REPORT?
Upon reporting an incident, the Title IX Office may initiate both informal and/or formal resolution to address the complaint.
Informal resolution will only be considered for certain types of complaints, provided that the interests of all parties are adequately protected. Either party involved in a formal complaint may terminate the informal resolution process at any time and request a formal investigation.
A formal investigation is generally initiated upon the receipt of a formal complaint. This process typically involves a panel investigation, with a final decision issued by the President. The panel process is most commonly triggered upon the receipt of a 'formal notice.'
Actions typically include:
- Stopping the conduct perceived as discriminatory
- Implementing remedies such as scheduling or housing accommodations
- Preventing recurrence
