The investigation and records of the resolution conducted by the College are
maintained confidentially. Information is shared internally between administrators
who need to know, but a tight circle is kept. Where information must be shared to
permit the investigation to move forward, the person bringing the accusation will be
informed.
Privacy of the records specific to the investigation are maintained in accordance
with Texas law and the federal FERPA statute. Any public release of information to
comply with the open crime logs or timely warning provisions of the Clery Act will
not release the names of victims or information that could easily lead to a victim’s
identification. Additionally, TVCC maintains privacy in relation to any
accommodations or protective measures afforded to a victim, except to the extent
necessary to provide the accommodations and/or protective measures.
In any complaint of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, stalking,
dating violence, domestic violence or other sex or gender-based discrimination
covered under the federal law, Title IX, the person bringing the accusation and the
responding party are entitled to the same opportunities for a support person or
advisor of their choice throughout the process, including any meeting, conference,
hearing or other procedural action. Once complete, the parties will be informed, in
writing, of the outcome, including the finding, the sanctions (if any) and the
rationale therefor. Delivery of this outcome to the parties will occur without undue
delay between notifications. All parties will be informed of the College appeal
processes, and their rights to exercise a request for appeal. Should any change in
outcome occur prior to finalization, all parties will be timely informed in writing,
and will be notified when the results of the resolution process become final.
