What happens after a Complainant files a complaint?
Once the formal complaint is received, several steps happen, the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator will:
- Reach out to the Complainant to offer supportive measures.
- Ensure that the complaint is filed under the correct policy and procedure.
- Notify the Respondent of the complaint in writing.
- Notify each party of their rights, including the right to an Advisor of their choice in the process.
- Initiate an investigation, if appropriate.
