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.
