Supportive Measures The University provides all students and employees who report domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, whether on or off-campus, with written information on available supportive measures. These non-disciplinary, non-punitive services are offered at no cost to both the Complainant and Respondent, regardless of whether a Formal Complaint is filed, or law enforcement is involved. Supportive measures aim to ensure equal access to University programs while protecting safety and preventing harassment. They may include counseling, health services, academic accommodations, financial aid adjustments, schedule modifications, campus escorts, no-contact orders, housing or work changes, leaves of absence, security enhancements, visa and immigration support, legal assistance, and other necessary services. The University maintains confidentiality of these accommodations unless disclosure is necessary to implement them. While crime statistics are included in the Annual Security Report in compliance with the Clery Act, personally identifying information is excluded. Filing a Complaint Anyone aware of an incident covered by this policy is encouraged to report it promptly to the Title IX Coordinator(s) or Campus Police. Reports can be made in person, by mail, phone, email, or any method ensuring the Title IX Coordinator(s) receives the information. Anonymous Reporting Anonymous reports or requests for resources may be made through the University’s EthicsPoint Compliance Hotline at 855.277.4065 or online. EthicsPoint allows the University to request information from a reporter and provide updates to the reporter on an anonymous basis. Reports made via EthicsPoint will be forwarded to the Title IX Coordinator. EthicsPoint is not an emergency service. For emergency service, reporters should call Stevens’ Campus Police or local law enforcement authorities. Procedures for Addressing Reports The University ensures all proceedings are prompt, fair, and impartial, following established policies with reasonable timeframes. Extensions for good cause will be communicated in writing to both parties. University officials handling these cases receive annual training on dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. They conduct proceedings without bias or conflicts of interest, including bias for or against Complainants or Respondents, prioritizing safety and accountability. Advisor Participation Both the Complainant and Respondent may have an advisor of their choice present at any disciplinary proceeding or related meeting. Any participation restrictions will apply equally to both parties. 62 — Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
