Disclosures and Reporting

Any person may disclose Prohibited Conduct to the Title IX Coordinator in one of the following ways:

  1. mail
  2. telephone
  3. electronic mail
  4. any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written disclosure.

The disclosing person does not need to be the Reporting Party. A disclosing person may disclose alleged Prohibited Conduct to the Title IX Coordinator without initiating a formal University response. After a disclosure is made, the University will contact the Complainant and offer to provide an opportunity to meet with a Title IX administrator to discuss available supportive measures, formal and informal procedures, and potential interim measures.

When filing a formal Title IX complaint, a Complainant must be participating in or attempting to participate in an education program or activity of the University. All disclosure will be reviewed by the University to identify if the conduct falls within this policy or other related policies.

A person may make a disclosure of any prohibited conduct under this policy to the Title IX Coordinator or any of the following individuals:

  • Deputy Title IX Coordinators
  • Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students
  • Director of Human Resources

An individual may pursue a formal University response procedure independently of any off-campus processes, such as reporting to law enforcement or pursuing other non-campus-based civil reporting options.
