The University sexual misconduct grievance process:

• Provides options and support for members of the University community who have experienced sexual misconduct, while also providing an equitable resolution process. 
• Provides equitable treatment and equal rights for the complainant and respondent – no disciplinary action will be taken until a determination on responsibility has been made.
• Will provide a timely, fair, and impartial resolution of the complaint, under the evidentiary standard of preponderance of the evidence, i.e., more likely than not that the alleged conduct occurred. 
• Is carried out by University officials who have received training on these issues, are trained to conduct an investigation and make a determination that promotes safety, equity, and accountability free of bias.
• Provides the complainant and the respondent the right to have a support person/advisor present during all aspects of the investigation and resolution process.
• Allows a complaint to be resolved informally with mutual agreement if the respondent is not a 美高梅mgm1888 employee.
• Provides the complainant and respondent the opportunity to review and comment on all evidence and investigation report.
• Provides the complainant and respondent the opportunity to cross examine parties through an advisor during a formal complaint hearing process.
• Ensures that both the complainant and the respondent will be notified simultaneously in writing of the status of the complaint at all stages of the process, including investigation, hearing and appeals.
• Allows complainant and respondent the right of appeal following the hearing officer’s decision in a formal complaint.
• Prohibits retaliation against a complainant for making a complaint and against anyone else for participating in the investigation. 

Title IX requires designation by a school of a Title IX Coordinator or Coordinators. Duties and responsibilities of the University’s Title IX Coordinators include monitoring and oversight of overall implementation of not just Title IX compliance at the University, but all laws and prohibitions covered by this policy, including coordination of training, education, communications and coordination of the sexual misconduct grievance process for faculty, staff, students and other members of the University community and investigation of complaints of sex discrimination and other sexual misconduct under university policy. The University may designate Deputy Coordinators as needed to assist in fulfillment of the Coordinator’s duties and responsibilities.

The University of 美高梅mgm1888首页 Missouri seeks to foster a safe and healthy environment built on mutual respect and trust. Sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, sexual violence and other forms of sexual misconduct will not be tolerated.  All faculty and most staff are considered mandated reporters by the University and must disclose all information they receive about sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator. As a faculty or staff member of the University, I am a mandated reporter.  This means I am required to report information shared with me regarding sex discrimination and sexual misconduct.
