Non-Exclusive List of Potential Supportive Measures and Corrective Action Remedies

Main Content

Supportive measures non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the complainant or the 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 University’s education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the University’s educational environment, or deter sexual misconduct. The University must maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided to the complainant or respondent, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the University to provide the supportive measures.

For cases where a determination of responsibility for Title IX Sexual Harassment has been made against the respondent, following the appropriate grievance process before the imposition of any disciplinary sanctions or other actions that are not supportive measures against a respondent, the University may provide remedies to the complainant. Remedies must be designed to restore or preserve equal access to the University’s education program or activity. Such remedies may include the same individualized services described as “supportive measures”; however, remedies need not be non-disciplinary or non-punitive and need not avoid burdening the respondent.

The need for supportive measures, which include interim/protective measures, and corrective action/remedies is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The University will maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the institution to provide the supportive measures. Depending upon the circumstances, potential supportive measures, corrective action and remedies could include, but not be limited to, any of the following:

  • A mutual campus directive of no contact
  • Campus no-trespass notices
  • Limiting and/or scheduling access of individual buildings
  • Making an escort available to assist the Complainant or Respondent to move safely between classes and campus activities
  • Adjusting class or work schedules or methods of participating in activities to minimize campus contact between the Complainant and the Respondent
  • Moving the Complainant or Respondent to a different residence hall and/or dining hall
  • Counseling services
  • Medical services
  • Academic support, such as extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments
  • Changes in work locations
  • Leaves of absence
  • Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of campus
  • Adjusting reporting lines

The Title IX Coordinator or their designee coordinates the effective implementation of supportive measures. When a report of sexual misconduct is received by the Title IX Office, the complainant will be promptly contacted to be provided information about and to offer a meeting to discuss the complainant’s wishes with respect to supportive measures, to discuss the availability of supportive measures with or without the filing of a formal complaint, and to explain to the complainant the process for filing a formal complaint. The Title IX Coordinator or their designee will also oversee the effective implementation of any remedies.
