XX. Supportive Measures

Supportive measures are provided based on an individualized assessment of the needs of the individual. They are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the Complainant or the Respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the recipient’s education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the recipient’s educational environment, or deter sexual harassment.

Supportive measures may include, but are not limited to:

counseling;
extensions of deadlines or other course-relate adjustments;
modifications of work or class schedules;
campus escort services;
mutual restrictions on contact between the parties;
changes in work or housing locations;
leaves of absence;
increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus;
other similar measures.

The University must maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided to the Complainant or Respondent, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the recipient to provide supportive measures. The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the effective implementation of supportive measures.
