Filing A Report:
As a member of the TCNJ community, you have the right to file an official complaint through the College process, through the criminal process, or through both. If you wish to file a report or learn more about how each of these resolution processes work, please see this page with more information about filing a report on the Title IX website.
**If a victim/survivor was under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time of the incident, even if they are not 21 years old, they will NOT be charged with an alcohol or drug offense by TCNJ or Campus Police.
If you would like to discuss Title IX reporting options within a confidential setting, you can do this with AVI clinicians. Schedule an appointment.
Supportive Measures:
Supportive Measures are individualized services, accommodations, and other assistance that the College offers to any students or employees and may be put in place without fee or charge.
Supportive Measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the College’s programs and activities, protect the safety of all parties and the College’s educational environment, and/or deter Prohibited Conduct, without being punitive or disciplinary in nature or unreasonably burdening the other party.
Supportive Measures are available regardless of whether the matter is reported to the College for the purpose of initiating a proceeding under College policy and before, after, and regardless of whether a Formal Complaint is filed. A Reporter who requests Supportive Measures has the right to file a Formal Complaint, either at the time the Supportive Measure is requested or at a later date. The College will also implement Supportive Measures for Respondents as requested and appropriate.
Supportive Measures may include, but are not limited to, the following to the extent reasonably available and appropriate:
- Academic measures, such as, assistance in transferring to another section of a course, assistance in requesting withdrawal or an incomplete grade in a particular course, leaves of absence or withdrawal from the College, or assistance requesting alternate methods of completing coursework;
- Housing measures, such as requiring a Student to relocate College housing assignment pending the outcome of a conduct investigation or proceeding. This may also include facilitating changes from an on-campus housing location to alternate housing, and assistance in exploring alternative housing off-campus.
- Employment measures, such as, arranging for alternate College employment, different work shifts, etc.;
- Arranging a meeting with the Office of Title IX & Sexual Misconduct and/or Campus Police Services to discuss or report alleged violations of Prohibited Conduct;
- Arranging a meeting with the Office of Anti-Violence Initiatives and/or Campus Police Services to discuss safety planning;
- Arranging access to counseling and/or medical services and assistance in setting up initial appointments;
- Transportation or parking accommodations;
- Restorative practices, which would include voluntary participation in a discussion by trained facilitators with any persons or departments harmed and development of a shared agreement of how to correct the Harm;
- Any other measure that may be arranged by the College (to the extent reasonably available) to ensure the safety and well-being of a Student and/or the College community affected by the Prohibited Conduct;
- Implementation of a No Contact Directive. A No Contact Directive (NCD) is implemented between two individuals affiliated with TCNJ, and both individuals must adhere to the directive, regardless of who initiated the NCD. NCDs are intended to prevent contact or communication that could be harmful for any individual. It helps to create a safe environment, so the individuals can focus on their education and/or work. NCDs are intended to prevent all forms of communication.
