Use of this policy and the processes herein are not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies and may not extend any filing deadline related to the pursuit of other remedies.

I. Deadlines
All timeframes under this Title IX Sexual Harassment Process may be temporarily extended for good cause by the Title IX Coordinator or a designee. Good cause may include considerations such as the absence of a party, a party’s advisor, or a witness; concurrent law enforcement activity; the need for language assistance or accommodation of disability; and other circumstances reasonably outside of the institution’s control, such as, but not limited to, campus closures; public health emergencies; illness, death or family emergencies experienced by key participants in the process or other such circumstances. The Title IX Coordinator or a designee shall notify the parties in writing when a timeframe is extended.
J. Additional Information
Inquiries about this Title IX Sexual Harassment Process may be directed to the Title IX Coordinator whose contact information is contained in Article IV, Section J and other sections of this Student Handbook, which information is also available on the Title IX Office website at https://www.iit.edu/title-ix/title-ix-compliance , or the United States Office for Civil Rights (contact information available online at: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/addresses.html).
K. Other Procedures
To the extent that they do not conflict with any requirements of this Title IX Sexual Harassment Process and are implemented equally and fairly as to the parties, the Title IX Team may use processes from the IIT sexual harassment and sexual misconduct processes outlined in this Student Handbook when processing Title IX Sexual Harassment reports and complaints. If Illinois Tech intends to use any such processes in addressing Title IX Sexual Harassment reports or complaints, the Title IX Coordinator or designee will make available written administrative procedures supplementing this Title IX Sexual Harassment Process and detailing the additional procedures to be used.
