Interim Measures

Seattle University offers assistance to all students who experience sexual misconduct, whether or not they pursue formal reporting. Examples of interim actions include:

• shielding a student from ongoing contact with an individual;
• taking that individual out of a class or issuing an administrative no-contact order;
• assigning an individual to a different lab or other clinical setting;
• asking an administrative authority to speak to the individual to express serious concern about a behavior;
• reminding the individual of policies and definitions relating to sexual misconduct;
• offering counseling targeted to addressing sexual aggression; and
• reorganizing housing assignments so that students can feel safer.

Interim actions do not preclude formal reporting.
