Title IX/Equal Opportunity Report Form
When the EO Officer/Title IX Coordinator receives notice of an incident, they will contact the individual(s) involved to provide information about support resources, interim measures, and options for further action. The EO Officer/Title IX Coordinator can also help facilitate contact with law enforcement if the individual involved wishes to pursue a criminal complaint.
It is always the complainant’s choice whether they wish to file a formal complaint or not. Support services are available whether or not a complainant decides to file a formal complaint, and whether or not such a complaint results in a finding of responsibility.
