Supportive Measures

Supportive measures are individualized services offered to Complainants and Respondents through Institutional Equity and Compliance. Supportive measures are meant to restore or preserve equal access to the university activities without unreasonably burdening the other party. Supportive measures may include:

  • Counseling
  • Extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments
  • Modifications of work or class schedules
  • Campus safety 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

The measures may be offered before or after a Formal Complaint has been filed, or in situations where no Formal Complaint has been filed. Institutional Equity and Compliance will keep supportive measures confidential to the extent possible while being able to enact the measures.
