Supportive Measures
-
Side Navigation
Supportive measures are individualized measures offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, without unreasonably burdening a complainant or respondent, not for punitive or disciplinary reasons, and without fee or charge to the complainant or respondent to:
- Restore or preserve that party’s access to the recipient’s education program or activity, including measures that are designed to protect the safety of the parties or the recipient’s educational environment; or
- Provide support during the College’s grievance procedures or during the informal resolution process.
Supportive Measures are available regardless of whether a formal complaint is filed.
Supportive Measures, while similar in some cases, are not the same as academic accommodations provided to students under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the provision of Supportive Measure will be directed by the Title IX Office, and in some cases, facilitated by the Academic Accommodations Office as appropriate and necessary.
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the implementation of Supportive Measures and coordinating the College’s response with the appropriate offices on campus. Saint Vincent will maintain the privacy of any remedial and Supportive Measures provided under this Policy to the extent practicable and will promptly address any violation of the protective measures.
