Supportive Measures
Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services, accommodations, and other assistance that the university may put in place for involved parties. Supportive measures will be considered and executed to restore or preserve the ability of involved parties to continue to access and engage at the university.
Some examples may include:
- Facilitating access/referral to
- Counseling and Psychological Services;
- Potential disability accommodations (where applicable) through Disability Support Services or Equal Employment Opportunity and Access;
- Student Outreach and Support;
- Office for Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement;
- GW's Employee Assistance Program;
- Academic support;
- Temporary relocation of housing or work location;
- Changes to university work schedules and/or job assignments;
- Administrative Mutual No Contact Order
Supportive measures may be appropriate in cases where, based on an initial assessment, a complaint is not referred for investigation.
