Investigative Process
Generally speaking, each case that falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of Title IX begins with a formal complaint. After receiving a formal complaint, the Title IX Coordinator sends out official notices to all involved parties and the investigation process begins. During the investigation, all parties get the opportunity to review and comment on the relevant evidence and information gathered by the investigators. After the investigation is concluded, a live-hearing occurs where it is determined whether or not a policy violation occurred. After the hearing, each party has certain opportunities to appeal. For more information about the process, please review this sample Title IX flowchart.
