Student Conduct & Regulations 52|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey If a report of misconduct discloses a serious or immediate threat to the campus community, the University will issue a timely warning to the community to protect the health or safety of the community. The timely warning will not include any identifying information about the Complainant. Please Note: Title IX Coordinators are not a confidential source of support. While they will address matters reported with sensitivity and will keep your information as private as possible, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. For confidential resources, please contact Counseling and Psychological Services (https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices/counseling-and-psychological-services.html). Please Also Note: Making a report is different from filing a Formal Complaint (see the section titled Filing a Formal Complaint). A report is defined as notification of an incident of sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator or his/her designee by any person. A report may be accompanied by a request for (1) Supportive Measures; (2) no further action; (3) filing a Formal Complaint; and/or (4) a request to initiate an informal resolution process after filing a Formal Complaint. Filing a Formal Complaint initiates the University’s formal investigation process. (See Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process). 2. Electronic and Anonymous Reporting You may also file a report about sexual misconduct using the appropriate links below. While anonymous reports are accepted, the University’s ability to address misconduct reported anonymously is significantly limited. Individuals may use this link to electronically file a report of sexual misconduct with the University: https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?KutztownUniv&layout_id=1. An immediate auto-response email with information about resources and options will be sent in response to reports filed electronically. Individuals may also file a report by sending an email to: titleix@kutztown.edu. 3. Filing a Formal Complaint The timeframe for the Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process under this Policy begins with the filing of a Formal Complaint and will be concluded within a reasonably prompt manner, and usually no longer than 90 days after the filing of the Formal Complaint, provided that the Process may be extended for a good reason, as set forth more fully in the Continuances and Granting Extensions section. Appeals may extend the timeframe for resolution. To file a Formal Complaint, a Complainant must provide the Title IX Coordinator a written, signed complaint describing the facts alleged. If a Complainant does not wish to make a Formal Complaint, the Title IX Coordinator may determine a Formal Complaint is necessary. Kutztown University will inform the Complainant of this decision in writing, and the Complainant need not participate in the process further, but will receive all notices issued under this Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process. Please note: The Title IX Coordinator does not lose impartiality solely due to signing a Formal Complaint.
