Supportive Measures
The College will offer reasonably available individualized services, without any fee or charge, to the parties involved in a reported incident of discrimination on the basis of sex or sexual harassment, with or without the filing of a Formal Complaint, when applicable. Supportive measures may include but are not limited to counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications of work or class schedules, withdrawal from or retake of a class without penalty, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties (no contact orders), changes in work or housing locations, leaves of absence, increased security and monitoring of certain areas of campus, or other similar measures tailored to the individualized needs of the parties. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary and non-punitive measures that do not unreasonably burden the other party. The College will maintain the confidentiality of supportive measures provided to the parties to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality does not impair the ability of the College to provide the supportive measures.
College-Initiated Protective Measures
In addition to those protective measures previously described, the Title IX Coordinator, or their designee, will determine whether interim interventions and protective measure should be implemented, and, if so, take steps to implement those protective measures as soon as possible. Examples of interim protective measures include, but are not limited to: a college order of no contact, residence hall relocation, adjustment of course schedules, a leave of absence, or reassignment to a different supervisor or position. These remedies may be applied to one, both, or multiple parties involved11. Violations of the Title IX Coordinator’s directives and/or protective measures will constitute related violations that may lead to additional disciplinary action. Protective measures imposed may be temporary pending the results of an investigation or may become permanent as determined by Rollins College.
On and Off Campus Services for Victims
Upon receipt of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, Rollins College will provide written notification to students and employees about existing assistance with and/or information about obtaining resources and services including counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, student financial aid and assistance in notifying appropriate local law enforcement. At this time, Rollins does not provide on campus legal assistance, but can help students and employees connect with an off campus service that provides legal assistance. These resources include the following: Applicable law requires that, when taking such steps to separate the complainant and the accused, the College must minimize the burden on the complainant and thus should not, as a matter of course, remove the complainant from his or her job, classes or housing while allowing the accused to remain. 1
