A Respondent Services Coordinator is available for Staff and will be assigned on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Title IX Officer for any questions or concerns.
The respondent services coordinator can:
- Help you understand your rights
- Explain and help you navigate the investigation and adjudication processes, including formal hearings
- Refer you to campus and community resources, such as for psychological counseling, legal services (including help understanding and complying with protection orders), alternative housing, academic changes and other needs
- Assist with securing an interpreter or translator, if needed
It is important to note that respondent services coordinators are not legally required to maintain confidentiality. However, as a general practice, the coordinators will request signed consent from you before disclosing personally identifiable information.
