Reporting retaliation
51²è¹Ý prohibits threats or acts of retaliation against students who are involved in any manner of a report of sexual harassment, investigation, proceeding, or hearing under 51²è¹Ý’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy. Retaliation can take many forms, including sustained abuse or violence, threats, coercion, intimidation and discrimination. Students who engage in retaliation or harassment by any means – including in person, through others or on social media – will be subject to disciplinary action.
Retaliation is also a criminal offense under Texas law, and students may face criminal charges.
Students who observe retaliation or who are threatened in any way should promptly notify 51²è¹Ý Police, 214-768-3333; the 51²è¹Ý Title IX Coordinator, 214-768-3601; or the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards, 214-768-4563.
