Title IX Volunteer Pool
The Title IX volunteer pool consists of full time faculty and staff members who have been trained to fulfill specific roles and responsibilities as it relates to a formal Title IX complaint for which the University has determined it has the ability to seek resolution. This pool is updated yearly. In the event that there is a conflict of interest with one or more parties, an alternate may be assigned to assist in a case. There may be times when the University contracts for an external party to fulfill one or more of the Title IX process pool roles.
Members of the volunteer pool are assigned by the Chief Title IX Officer to assist with cases. The one exception to this is the role of the Title IX Advisor. The Complainant and the Respondent in the case have the opportunity to select up to two Advisors. These Advisors may be from the trained University Volunteer Pool or they can be any person(s) that the party chooses to have.
