Supportive Measures
Regardless of where the conduct occurred, who was involved, or to what degree an individual decides to report the incident, supportive measures are often available. Most commonly, these measures include class changes, dorm room transfers, or other academic accommodations that are necessary to assist a student who is being unfairly disadvantaged by actions or trauma related to an incident of discrimination or violence.
Interim Measures
Even without a formal report, it is encouraged that parties work with the OEI to request interim measures that could be of assistance. Interim measures include No Contact Orders and Campus Bans which may be available on a case by case basis.
