2021-22 HSMB Report
The Director of Community Standards received 35 reports* of potential violations under the College’s Sexual Misconduct Policy.
After being advised of their options, including contacting law enforcement, one of the reporting individuals elected to pursue a complaint through 51ÁÔÆæ’s formal resolution process. The outcome of the complaint is as follows:
- Student was found not responsible for Non-Title IX Sexual Harassment
Below is the list of actions taken for the remaining 34 reports:
- One report was resolved using an informal resolution process
- Three reports were resolved using an informal resolution process in the 2022-23 academic year
- In two of the reports, there was insufficient information to determine if there was a policy violation and/or the identity of the individual or individuals engaging in the potential policy violations. The College conducted additional investigation but no formal process was pursued.
- In 23 of the reports of potential policy violations, the accused was not contacted, at the request of the reporting individual and/or due to lack of information.
- In 4 of the reports of potential policy violations, the Title IX Coordinator met with the accused to issue a no contact order and/or notify the accused of the accusations, at the request of the reporting individual.
- For 7 of these potential violations, the reporting individual requested support services organized by the Title IX Coordinator and/or information about the support options available on and off campus, but did not seek further action at that time.
In addition, the Director of Community Standards received 2 reports under the Harassment and Discrimination Policy.
The outcomes of the complaints are as follows:
- In one report, it was determined that the reported behaviors were covered in a different College policy or procedure. The Director of Community Standards ensured that the reporting individual was in contact with the relevant College official
- In one report, the complainant chose not to pursue any action
* Please note that each report of a potential violation of the policy is counted separately. For example, a report with two complainants and one respondent is counted as two reports. Likewise, a report with multiple respondents is counted multiple times.
** Please note that each action taken for each potential violation of the policy is counted as an outcome of a complaint. For example, an allegation that a single respondent carried out two different violations of the policy would result in two outcomes of a complaint.
