Resources
It is important for the reporting party to be in control of his or her decisions. Though Ashland University encourages all reporting parties to utilize all of the resources and support, the reporting party is not pressured in any of their decision making. If the reporting party does not wish to utilize these resources they may always be utilized at a later time. The Title IX Coordinators and Deputy Coordinators identified earlier in the policy can assist with any or all resources. In addition, the aforementioned staff can assist online students as well as students and employees at centers other than in Ashland, Ohio in utilizing Ashland campus resources and/or seeking assistance from their respective city law enforcement, rape crisis and domestic shelter centers, and hospitals.
