YOU HAVE OPTIONS
Sexual Assault Support and Reporting at MoWest
You are not alone. You deserve support. You can take this, one step at a time.
If you have experienced sexual assault, know that it is not your fault.
What Happens After a Title IX Report?
1. Initial Outreach
The Title IX Office will contact you (usually within 1-2 business days) to discuss your options, answer questions and connect you with resources.
2. Supportive Measures
You can access supportive measures right away, such as counseling, academic accommodations, housing changes or no-contact orders.
3. Report or Complaint
You can choose to make a formal complaint, or you can share information without instigating a formal investigation. You can also request no formal action in certain situations.
4. Investigation
(If a formal complaint is filed) The University will follow the Title IX process, which may include an investigation, interim measures and a resolution process.
5. Outcome and Support
You will be notified of the outcome, and support services will continue for as long as you need them, regardless of the result.
