Supportive Measures

Supportive Measures are non-disciplinary and non-punitive resources and measures available to complainants and respondents that help to restore or preserve equal access to the College's education program or activity, including employment, without unreasonably burdening the other party. Upon receiving a concern, The Title IX Coordinator or designee will contact the complainant to assess their immediate needs and offer reasonably available and appropriate supportive measures. Complainants have the right to receive supportive measures from the College regardless of whether they decide to file a Formal Complaint as defined in College Procedure 3-44 (A) Sexual Harassment/Sexual Violence. The Title IX Coordinator also will offer reasonably available and appropriate supportive measures to respondents when they are notified of a Formal Complaint. Title IX Coordinator Joan Cook can be reached at 614.287.2636 or jcook60@cscc.edu.

The supportive measures that are offered to the parties may evolve as circumstances change, and either party may request different or additional supportive measures from the Title IX Coordinator at any time.

The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for determining and coordinating the effective implementation of supportive measures.

Examples of supportive measures that may be offered include:

• Counseling
• Extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments
• Modifications of work or class schedules
• Campus escort services
• Mutual restrictions on contact between the parties
• Changes in work locations
• Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus
• Changes to academic, living, transportation and working situations, as appropriate and within the control of the College
• Other similar measures as deemed appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator

College employees are expected to keep supportive measures private except as may be necessary to provide the supportive measures.
