Administrative assistance does not involve any adjudication of responsibility, but will focus on attempting to provide accommodations and supportive measures upon request by the Reporting Individual/ Complainant and/or the Respondent. This option is available regardless of whether mediation and/or the Formal Complaint Process is being pursued.
Excluding a request for a No Contact Order (or for third parties or persons no longer students at the College a no trespassing order, known as a persona non grata or “PNG” directive), administrative assistance may become effective without notification to the Respondent. For further detailed information on protective measures and other necessary accommodations such as the PNG directive, please see the section on Supportive Measures under the chapter on “Resources for Students Who Experience Sexual Violence”.
