“The next step in the process provides an opportunity for interested students, faculty and staff to meet directly with OCR representatives to share their experiences and perspective regarding Baylor’s efforts to prevent and address sex- and gender-based harassment and violence,” the email states. “We encourage interested community members to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Visits with representatives are one-on-one sessions on a voluntary and confidential basis with no appointment required. The Office for Civil Rights will not share personally identifiable information with the university or general public, and no other university employees or media are invited, according to the email.

Title IX investigations by the Office for Civil Rights may include “reviewing documentary evidence submitted by both parties, conducting interviews with the complainant, recipient’s personnel, and other witnesses, and/or site visits,” according to the Department of Education website.
