Common use of RESOURCE GUIDE DEVELOPMENT Clause in Contracts

RESOURCE GUIDE DEVELOPMENT. In order for the University to ensure it meets its obligation to explain clearly to students where and how to file complaints of various types of sex-based harassment, by July 15, 2013, the University will develop and submit to the United States for approval a resource guide on sex-based harassment that is accessible to students and written in easily understandable language. The guide will contain information on: what constitutes sexual harassment and sexual assault; clear examples of what types of actions may constitute sex discrimination in the University’s programs or activities, including but not limited to different types of sex- based harassment, and what may provide the basis for a complaint pursuant to the University’s grievance and other procedures; what to do if a student has been the victim of sexual assault or sexual harassment; contact information for all on- and off-campus resources for victims of sexual assault; information on how to obtain counseling, medical attention, and academic assistance; and where complaints can be directed, with clear explanations of the criminal and non-criminal consequences that flow from complaints directed to particular entities. The guide will prominently state that the victim of sexual assault or sexual harassment has the option to pursue a criminal complaint with the appropriate law enforcement agency, to pursue the University’s grievance and disciplinary process, or to pursue these processes simultaneously. The guide will: make clear how to file a Title IX complaint of sex-based harassment (including clarifying any distinctions for sexual assault and sexual harassment if such distinctions continue to exist) or retaliation with the University; provide the name and contact information for the University’s Title IX Coordinator(s); include a description of the Title IX Coordinator’s role; cite links to the new policies and grievance procedures required by Section II.A-D; and identify interim measures the University can implement, including measures that can be taken if the accused lives on campus and/or attends classes with the complainant. Within 30 calendar days of the United States approving the guide, the University will provide the United States with documentation that it has published the guide, including a link to where the guide is posted on the University’s website, and information about the locations and personnel on campus who have the guide available to students, including but not limited to all first responders (e.g., SARC employees, resident assistants, the Title IX coordinator(s), and OPS employees) who are required to offer this guide to all persons raising allegations of sex-based discrimination and to offer to send them the link to the guide by email or text message, as required by Section V.B above.
