Third-Parties

Prohibited conduct can affect everyone in the classroom or workplace community.   A Third-Party is someone who may not have directly experienced prohibited conduct under Title IX, but may have knowledge of prohibited conduct.  This can include something you witnessed, awareness of an issue in your community, or information someone disclosed to you. Third-parties can also feel the impact of harm.  Below are support options and tools for third-parties.
