Notes
[1] When identifiable, duplicate reports were consolidated and counted as one report in the summary data, and confidential employee reporting is noted as a sub-set to the total number of reports received.
[2] Reports made by students and all other non-employees (including incidents under 3.5(d)(3)) are excluded from the total number of reports received. Additionally, if a Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator determines the type of incident described in a report, as alleged, does not constitute “sexual harassment,” “sexual assault,” “dating violence,” ”stalking” as defined in the TEC Section 51.251, the report is excluded from the total number of reports received. It is the responsibility of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator to assess each report received and determine whether it is properly included in this report, and if so, to correctly identify the type of incident.
[3] The “Number of confidential reports” is a subset of the total number of reports received by a confidential employee or office (e.g., Counseling center, Student Health Center, or a Victim Advocate).
[4] “Disposition” means “final result under the institution’s disciplinary process” as defined by 19 TAC 3.6€. Pending disciplinary processes will not be listed unless or until final result is rendered.
[5] “No Finding of a Sexual Misconduct Violation” refers to instances where there is no finding of responsibility after a hearing or an appeal process. Investigations complete with a preponderance of evidence not met are excluded from the report, as such invesigations would not have moved forward into a disciplinary process.
[6] No finding of sexual misconduct policy violation, but conduct found to be in violation of other Dallas College policies applicable to employees.
[7] No finding of sexual misconduct policy violation, but conduct found to be in violation of other Dallas College policies applicable to students.
[8] Dallas College may have determined not to initiate a disciplinary process. The reasons for not initiating a disciplinary can include, however not limited to: respondent was not affiliated with Dallas College; complainant requested the institution not investigate the report; informal resolution was completed; investigation is ongoing; or investigation was completed with a preponderance of evidence not met.
