Supportive measures under Title IX

Supportive measures are available to anyone who has come forward about an incident of sexual misconduct or a student who is pregnant or is experiencing related conditions. Individualized supportive measures are available to you regardless of your decision to request an investigation. Supportive measures include those designed to ensure your continued access to your education and/or workplace, to protect your safety, the safety of others or the safety of the University’s educational or work environment, and to deter sex discrimination and sexual harassment. The Title IX Office may work with campus partners like Residential Life, Human Resources, or faculty members, to implement appropriate and reasonably available supportive measures.

Supportive measures may include connection to counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications of work or class schedules, campus escort services, issuance of No Contact Orders (NCO) imposing mutual or unilateral restrictions on contact applied to one or more parties, changes in housing locations, leaves of absence, temporary reassignment of work, increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus, and other similar adjustments. Supportive measures may be requested by the impacted individuals or imposed by the Title IX Office on its own initiative.
