Title IX supportive measures
The goal of Supportive Measures is to restore or preserve access to programs and activities and/or provide support during the informal or grievance processes. The measures are non-punitive, non-disciplinary individualized assistance that is reasonably available without cost and available for both parties. The supportive measures will not unreasonably burden either party. The supportive measures for either party are kept confidential and only shared to the extent necessary to provide the supportive measure.
Supportive measures include but not are not limited to the following:
- Counseling
- Academic Accommodations
- Housing Accommodations
- Leave of Absence
- Modified work schedules
- Mutual no-contact order
Supportive measures modifications
When Supportive Measures are provided parties have the timely opportunity to seek modification or reversal of a decision to provide, deny, modify or terminate a supportive measure through a modification request process. Parties also have the opportunity to seek additional modification or termination of a supportive measure applicable to either party if circumstances change materially. Either of these opportunities are considered a challenge, not an appeal.
Supportive measures challenge
Parties are able to challenge the Supportive Measures by submitting a request in writing to the Vice President for Student Success. The ability to challenge is available immediately after Supportive Measures are issued or if there is a material change of circumstances and is available for three (3) business days from point of issue or circumstances change. The Vice President for Student Success will make a decision on the challenge submitted within three (3) business days of receiving the request and will provide a written determination and rationale on how to handle the Supportive Measure being challenged to the submitting parties and the Title IX Coordinator. The challenge determination is final.
