What happens after a Complainant files a complaint?

Once a formal complaint is received, a staff member from the Office of Gender Equity & Title IX will:

• Reach out to the Complainant to offer supportive measures;
• Ensure the complaint is filed under the appropriate policy and procedure;
• Notify the Respondent of the complaint in writing;
• Inform both parties of their rights, including the right to an Advisor of their choice; and
• Initiate an investigation, if appropriate.
