Respondent Resources
What are Resources For Respondents?
If you are involved in an incident as a responding party, this information may be valuable to you. Clark College is committed to a fair, unbiased, and consistent learning environment where every student is treated with dignity and respect and is granted all procedural protections afforded by the Student Code of Conduct.
Upon request the college can provide interim measures to support respondents including work arrangements (for student or institutional hire positions), making financial aid arrangements, providing visa and immigration assistance, or connecting with off-campus resources. The Deputy Coordinators of Title IX, the Dean of Students office and the Title IX Coordinator’s designees who reaches out to you can assist in arranging these types of interim measures.
Title IX Respondent Resource Services

- A safe and supportive listening space
- Navigation, guidance and coordination through the conduct process
Examples of support include (1) review of documents and materials, including documents related to the investigation, the final report, and sanctioning agreements, to assist in understanding the process; (2) assistance with appropriate academic or other reasonable support measures; (3) navigation of logistical challenges such as interim suspensions and restrictions of privileges and/or access to facilities; and (4) help to cope with and understand the conduct process, potential outcomes, and the appeals process.
