How do I report a Title IX concern?
You can make a Title IX report several ways. If you tell a mandatory reporter (WCSD employee) that you are experiencing sexual harassment or other prohibited conduct, they are required to report that information to the Title IX Coordinator. A Title IX Team member will reach out to you and/or your guardian to offer resources.
You can also self-report to HERE, call the office at 435-654-0280, email at incidentreport@wasatch.edu, or come to the Title IX Office, 101 E 200 N, Heber City, UT, to report information.
Can I make a report to Title IX and get assistance with supportive measures even if the Respondent is not affiliated with Wasatch County School District?
YES!
What is a No Contact Directive?
A No Contact Directive (NCD) is a written directive offered through Title IX. The purpose of the NCD is to stop all communication between two or more parties, with the goal of helping the parties move forward in a supportive and successful way. NCDs are often issued when one party wishes to have no further communication with another party, or when ICS School District determines that two or more people need to have no further communication due to alleged prohibited conduct or other safety concerns. A NCD is not a finding of responsibility, and it does not mean that either party is in trouble. If one party reports a violation of the NCD, school administrators will investigate the report and recommend some type of sanction if it determines a party violated the directive.
Is reporting to Title IX the same as reporting to law enforcement?
No, Title IX is separate from law enforcement. Some reported behaviors may require mandatory reports to law enforcement; therefore the school employee will report the behavior immediately. You may, at any time, report to law enforcement. If there are both law enforcement and Title IX investigations, the investigations will operate separately and simultaneously. law enforcement will collaborate as much as possible and permissible within the law.
What Happens if I’m Accused?
If a formal complaint has been filed and an investigation initiated, you will be provided with a Notice of Allegations against you. This will include all opportunities and rights for you as a party. You will receive supportive measures throughout the process and the opportunity to bring an advisor of your choice with you to all meetings.
