Resources

This page outlines the range of supportive measures available, including counseling referrals, safety planning, and academic adjustments, all provided at no cost. LTU is committed to confidentiality and will work collaboratively with affected individuals to address their needs and concerns. For further assistance, we also provide information on local resources dedicated to safety and support.

» Supportive Measures

LTU will offer and implement appropriate and reasonable supportive measures to the Parties upon Notice of alleged discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate and reasonably available. They are offered, without fee or charge to the Parties, to restore or preserve access to LTU’s education program or activity, including measures designed to protect the safety of all Parties and/or LTU’s educational environment and/or to deter discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation.

The Coordinator promptly makes supportive measures available to the Parties upon receiving Notice/Knowledge or a Complaint. At the time that supportive measures are offered, if a Complaint has not been filed, LTU will inform the Complainant, in writing, that they may file a Complaint with LTU either at that time or in the future. The Coordinator will work with a party to ensure that their wishes are considered with respect to any planned and implemented supportive measures.

LTU will maintain the confidentiality of the supportive measures, provided that confidentiality does not impair LTU’s ability to provide those supportive measures. LTU will act to ensure as minimal an academic/occupational impact on the Parties as possible. LTU will implement measures in a way that does not unreasonably burden any party.

These actions may include, but are not limited to:

  • Referral to counseling, medical, and/or other healthcare services
  • Referral to the Employee Assistance Program
  • Referral to community-based service providers
  • Visa and immigration assistance
  • Student financial aid counseling
  • Education to the institutional community or community subgroup(s)
  • Altering campus housing assignment(s)
  • Altering work arrangements for employees or student-employees
  • Safety planning
  • Providing campus safety escorts
  • Implementing contact restrictions (no contact orders) between the parties
  • Academic support, extensions of deadlines, or other course/program-related adjustments
  • Trespass, Persona Non Grata (PNG), or Be-On-the-Lookout (BOLO) orders
  • Timely warnings
  • Class schedule modifications, withdrawals, or leaves of absence
  • Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus
  • Any other actions deemed appropriate by the Administrator

 

Violations of no contact orders or other restrictions may be referred to appropriate student or employee conduct processes for enforcement or added as collateral misconduct allegations to an ongoing Complaint under this Policy.

The Parties are provided with a timely opportunity to seek modification or reversal of LTU’s decision to provide, deny, modify, or terminate supportive measures applicable to them. A request to do so should be made in writing to the Coordinator. An impartial employee other than the employee who implemented the supportive measures, who has authority to modify or reverse the decision, will determine whether to provide, deny, modify, or terminate the supportive measures if they are inconsistent with the Title IX regulatory definition of supportive measures. LTU will also provide the Parties with the opportunity to seek additional modification or termination of supportive measures applicable to them if circumstances materially change. LTU typically renders decisions on supportive measures within seven (7) business days of receiving a request and provides a written determination to the impacted party(ies) and the Coordinator.
