Notification
Students, faculty members, administrators, staff members, or visitors to the college are strongly encouraged to report allegations of discrimination or harassment to the Title IX Compliance Coordinator or his or her deputy. A report of sex discrimination or harassment should be made as soon as possible after the incident in order to facilitate an effective response. The longer a report is delayed, the more difficult it will be for the college to investigate. A person who raises a complaint may discuss with the Title IX Compliance Coordinator any situation believed to constitute sexual discrimination or harassment. Reports may be made by the person experiencing the discrimination or harassment or by a third party, such as a witness or someone who is told of the discrimination or harassment.
Upon receipt of the complaint/grievance, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator or his or her deputy will open a formal case file and notify the Investigating Officer and at the appropriate time notify the respondent. SAU Tech’s Title IX Compliance Coordinators are:
