The Initial Assessment process seeks to gather information about the nature and circumstances of the report to determine whether this policy applies to the report and, if so, which resolution process may be appropriate. The Title IX Coordinator will respond to any immediate safety or well-being concerns raised by the disclosure or report. The initial assessment is not a finding of fact or responsibility. If the individual bringing forward the report is not the actual complainant, the Title IX Coordinator will limit communication to general information on policies and processes.
Should the Complainant wish to initiate a resolution process, the Title IX Coordinator will determine whether this Policy applies and, if so, the appropriate process under this Policy. The Title IX Coordinator will communicate to the Complainant this determination. If the information provided does not suggest a potential violation of this Policy, the Title IX Coordinator will assess whether a different College policy is applicable.
