Reporting possible threats to university
Students, faculty, and other personnel may access the Incident Report Form to report potential threats. The form requires the following information:
- Name of Institution, person, or group being threatened;
- Name of student, individual, or group threatening violence;

Supportive Measures
Supportive Measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the parties to restore or preserve access to the University’s education program, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the University’s educational environment, and/or deter power-based violence, including sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and/or retaliation.
The Title IX Coordinator promptly makes Supportive Measures available to the parties upon receiving a Report.
The University will maintain the privacy of the Supportive Measures, provided that privacy does not impair the University’s ability to provide the Supportive Measures. The University will act to ensure a minimal academic impact on the parties to the extent possible in providing Supportive Measures. The University will implement measures in a way that does not unreasonably burden the other party. These actions may include, but are not limited to:
- Referral to counseling, medical, and/or other healthcare services
- Referral to community-based service providers
- Student financial aid counseling
- Education to the community or community subgroup(s)
- Altering campus housing assignment(s)
- Altering work arrangements for employees or student-employees
- Safety planning
- Providing campus safety escorts
- Providing transportation accommodations
- Implementing contact limitations (no contact orders) between the parties
- Academic support, extensions of deadlines, or other course/program-related adjustments
- Trespass or Be-On-the-Lookout (BOLO) order
- Class schedule modifications, withdrawals, or leaves of absence
- Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus
- Any other actions deemed appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator
Violations of no contact orders will be referred to appropriate student or employee conduct processes for enforcement. An employee’s or student’s failure to comply with the terms of Supportive-Measure directives is a separate violation of the University Code of Conduct.
