Stevens Policy The Title IX Policy applies to all students, faculty and staff at Stevens, as well as third parties (visitors, volunteers, contractors and others who spend time on campus or who participate in the University’s Education Program or Activities). It applies to Prohibited Conduct that occurs within the University’s Education Program and Activities. The University will also address a sex-based hostile environment that is found to have occurred within the Education Program or Activity, even when some conduct that contributed to the hostile environment occurred outside of the Education Program or Activity. Disclosure and Resources The University encourages students, employees, and third parties to disclose and seek support from campus, medical, mental health, law enforcement, and other supportive resources available on campus and in the community. For ease of reference, the contact information for those resources is listed at the beginning of this Annual Security Report. Resources are denoted as confidential or non- confidential. The University understands that after a trauma or a crime it may be a challenge to find the exact contact information for the resource needed, or a person may not be sure which resource they need. The University encourages anyone in need of assistance in understanding the resources or getting connected to them to contact the Title IX Coordinator, Human Resources, Campus Police, or any of the other listed resources. After a report is received, the University will contact the student or employee who has been a victim of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, whether the offense occurred on or off-campus, and provide a written explanation of the student's or employee's rights and options. How to file a complaint A Complainant or anyone else who is aware of the occurrence of an incident covered by this Policy is encouraged to report the incident as soon as possible to the Stevens’ Title IX Coordinator(s) and/or to Stevens’ Campus Police. Reports can be made in person, by mail, by phone, or by electronic mail, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator(s), or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator(s) receiving the person’s verbal or written report. While the University encourages victims of crime to seek assistance with Campus Police and/or off-campus law enforcement agencies, University employees will notify law enforcement when the victim of the crime elects to or is unable to notify. Per the Clery Act and University Policy, the victim of a crime has the right to: 1. Notify University and/or local law enforcement; 2. Be assisted by the University in notifying law enforcement if they choose to do so; or 3. Decline to notify law enforcement. Sexual misconduct may be a violation of University policy and a crime. Disciplinary action at the University is not a substitute for criminal or civil legal action. Therefore, the University encourages reporting criminal conduct promptly to Campus Police/local law enforcement agencies and to the Title IX Office. Individuals have the right to simultaneously report a crime to law enforcement and to the University. 60 — Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
