Any Institute administrator or official whom these Procedures empower to act may request that the Title IX Coordinator delegate that authority to another appropriate Institute official, or the Title IX Coordinator in their own discretion may delegate that administrator’s or official’s authority to act to another appropriate person. The Title IX Coordinator may also delegate their responsibilities and/or authorities under these procedures to any other appropriate official. Delegation of authority may be necessary to avoid conflicts of interest or where time constraints or other obligations prevent an Institute official named in these procedures from fulfilling their designated role.
The Institute may utilize appropriately trained external personnel for any role under these procedures as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Any Institute administrator or official involved in implementing these procedures may seek the advice of the Institute’s legal counsel, to be coordinated through the Title IX Coordinator.
