Upon receipt of a report to the Title IX Coordinator (or other Official with Authority) of an alleged violation of the Policy, Transylvania University will initiate at least one of three responses:
- Offering supportive measures because an individual making a complaint does not want to proceed formally; and/or
- An informal resolution; and/or
- A Formal Grievance Process including an investigation and a hearing.
