The Path of a Report of Prohibited Conduct

NOTE: Throughout this process, 1). a report to law enforcement may be made at any point and 2). resources and support are available.

Initial Assessment of Report

1. Upon receiving a report of Prohibited Conduct, the University will:
   • Provide support and assistance in obtaining University and community resources.
   • Provide information about preserving evidence, obtaining medical treatment, and contacting police.
   • Evaluate safety of individuals and the University community.
2. Complainant may request:
   • Anonymity and/or that no further University action be taken at this time.
   • Investigative Resolution
   • Adaptable Resolution
   • Educational Response

Threat Assessment of Report

3. Next, the University will conduct an assessment to determine University actions. The University will seek to honor the Complainant’s request if possible to do so while also protecting the health and safety of individuals and the University community.
