91³Ô¹ÏÍø

Students reporting sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking have the right to choose to pursue a criminal process, an 91³Ô¹ÏÍø internal grievance process or both processes. Students may also choose not to file a grievance or pursue criminal charges. The internal grievance process and the criminal process, which are independent of each other, can be pursued at the same time.
