What happens when a Title IX Complaint is filed?
- After filing a complaint, the Title IX Coordinator may determine that an investigation needs to occur. Investigations must be prompt, fair, and impartial, and are usually completed within 60 days.
- The College will not make a complaint public, but the investigator will have to tell some people about it in order to investigate and take appropriate corrective action. The only people who will know about your complaint are those who need to know about it to get these things accomplished. However if a public records request is made, the complaint may be released, with appropriate redactions made.
- The College will not allow anyone to retaliate against an individual for filing a complaint, and will take action against anyone who does. Retaliation can include threats, taunting or teasing, or additional harassment.
- Any retaliation should be immediately reported to the Title IX Coordinator.
