The Title IX coordinator, a Deputy Title IX coordinator, or their designees offer and coordinate supportive measures as appropriate and reasonably available. A Title IX formal complaint is not required for either party to request or receive supportive measures.

A. Definition. Supportive Measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive, individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to a complainant and/or a respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the College’s educational programs or activities without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the College’s educational environment or deter sex discrimination and other behaviors prohibited by this Policy.

Supportive measures may include, but are not limited to, counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications of work or class schedules, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, changes in work or housing locations, leaves of absence, increased security, and monitoring of certain areas of the campus. 

B. Limited Confidentiality. The College will maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided to a complainant or a respondent, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the College’s ability to provide the supportive measures. Generally, the Title IX coordinator is responsible for coordinating the effective implementation of supportive measures involving reports of Title IX prohibited conduct and other prohibited sex-based harassment.

C. Requests for Modification. A complainant or respondent may request modifications to supportive measures that are applicable to them. Requests may be made in writing or verbally, include the reason for the request, and submitted to the Title IX coordinator or designee. The Title IX coordinator or designee may modify or terminate.  

D. Reported Violations. Reported violations of certain restrictions, such as no communication directives, may be referred to appropriate student or employee conduct processes for review.
