sexual misconduct other incidents of power-based violence and retaliation. The procedures
for resolution of alleged violations of the Policy are addressed in the Sexual Misconduct and Power-Based Violence Grievance Procedures
Retaliation
Retaliation is defined as acts or attempted acts for the purpose of interfering with
any report, investigation, or proceeding, or as retribution or revenge against anyone
who has reported sexual discrimination, sexual misconduct or power-based violence
or who has participated (or is expected to participate) in any manner in an investigation,
or proceeding under the Sexual Misconduct and Power-Based Violence Policy. Prohibited
retaliatory acts include, but are not limited to, intimidation, threats, coercion,
or discrimination. Title IX prohibits Retaliation as does ULM’s Sexual Misconduct
and Power-Based Violence Policy. Retaliation should be promptly reported to the Title
IX Coordinator.

Supportive Measures
Supportive measures are Non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services are
offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the
parties before or after the filing of a Formal Complaint or where no Formal Complaint
has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to
the education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party,
including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the Institution’s
educational environment, or deter sexual harassment. Supportive Measures may include
counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications
of work or class schedules, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact
between the parties, changes in work or housing locations, leaves of absence, increased
security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus, and other similar measures.
If the incident or situation is criminal in nature, immediately contact University Police Department or the local police where the incident occurred. The University Police Department is located at Filhiol Hall, 3811 DeSiard Street, 318-342-5350 or 911 for emergencies.
