Support Measures Outside Process

Physical resources, such as pamphlets and flyers, on sexual harassment and assault awareness, bystander intervention, and risk reduction can be found in the Counseling Center, Office of Human Resources, and the Office of the Dean of Student Life.

The University is committed to collaborating with off-campus resources to provide specialized care to victims of sexual assault/violence in a supportive environment. The Florham Park police officers have been trained by advocates from the Morris County Sexual Assault Center on response to victims of sexual misconduct and violence.

Support Measures During Process

All parties involved in the Title IX process have the right to receive supportive measures from Saint Elizabeth University. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary and non-punitive.

As appropriate, supportive measures may include, but not be limited to:

Disability Accommodations

The Title IX process does not negate any institutional obligations under federal disability laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Parties may request reasonable accommodations for disclosed disabilities to the Title IX Coordinator at any point before or during the Title IX Grievance Process that do not fundamentally alter the Process.

The Title IX Coordinator will not affirmatively provide disability accommodations that have not been specifically requested by the Parties, even where the Parties may be receiving accommodations in other institutional programs and activities.
