Formal Complaint The Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process is initiated by a Complainant providing the Title IX Coordinator a written, signed Formal Complaint describing the facts alleged. See the section titled Filing a Formal Complaint above. 2. Notice of Allegations The Title IX Coordinator will draft and provide a written Notice of Allegations to any Party alleged to have violated this Policy. Such notice will occur as soon as practicable, but no more than 10 days, after the University receives a Formal Complaint of the allegations, if there are no extenuating circumstances. The Notice of Allegations will include the following: A. Notice of the University’s Sexual Misconduct Resolution Process including any Informal Resolution process and a hyperlink to a copy of the process. B. Notice of the allegations potentially constituting violations(s) of any University policy, and sufficient details known at the time the Notice of Allegations is issued, such as the identities of the parties involved in the incident, if known, including the Complainant; the conduct allegedly constituting a policy violation; and the date and location of the alleged incident, if known. C. A statement that the Respondent is presumed not responsible for the alleged conduct and that a determination regarding responsibility is made at the conclusion of the hearing. D. A statement that the Parties may have an Advisor of their choice. E. A statement that before the conclusion of the investigation, the Parties may inspect and review evidence obtained as part of the investigation that is directly related to the allegations raised in the Formal Complaint, including the evidence upon which the University does not intend to rely in reaching a determination regarding responsibility, and evidence that both tends to prove or disprove the allegations, whether obtained from a Party or other source. F. Individuals are prohibited from knowingly filing a false report or making misrepresentations. If, following an investigation and hearing as appropriate under applicable policy, a person is found to have willfully filed a bad faith report or made misrepresentations as part of a resolution process, the party may be subject to appropriate Disciplinary Sanctions under the Code of Conduct in the case of Students or other relevant University policy in the case of Officials, Employees or Volunteers. The Parties will be notified by their University email accounts if they are a Student or Employee, and by other reasonable means if they are neither. It is the responsibility of the Party to update the Title IX Coordinator of any email address or other changes to the means of contact.
