Supportive Measures

When Graceland receives a report of sexual harassment, the University may impose, at the request of the complainant or respondent, reasonable and appropriate supportive measures designed to provide equal educational access, deter sexual harassment and protect University safety. Graceland will maintain consistent contact with the parties to ensure that all safety, emotional and physical well-being concerns are being addressed. Any of the supportive measures listed below may be imposed regardless of whether a formal complaint is filed.

All individuals are encouraged to report concerns about failure of another individual to abide by any restrictions imposed by supportive measures. Graceland will take immediate and responsive action to enforce a previously implemented measure.

Range of Supportive Measures

Supportive measures will be implemented at the discretion of the University; however, supportive measures will be non-punitive, non-disciplinary, and not unreasonably burdensome to the other party prior to any written determination that Respondent is found responsible for an alleged sexual harassment. Potential measures that may be applied to the Complainant and/or the Respondent include:

• Access to counseling services and assistance in setting up initial appointment, both on campus and through Uwill counseling services
• Imposition of a No-Contact Order, which may include but are not limited to prohibiting one or more parties from having physical, phone, written, text, social media, or third-party
  contact with one or more other parties.
• Rescheduling of exams and assignments
• Providing alternative course completion options
• A change in class schedule or transferring sections, including the ability to drop a course after the deadline to drop a course
• A change in work schedule or job assignment
• A change in student’s University-owned residence
• Limiting an individual or organization’s access to certain University facilities or activities pending resolution of the matter
• A voluntary leave of absence
• Providing academic support services, such as tutoring
• A change of office space
• Any other remedy which can be tailored to the involved individuals to achieve the goals of this policy
