When a report is received, NCCU may take interim measures to ensure a safe and stable environment pending the final outcome of the investigation. These measures will allow the parties involved to have equal access to educational programs and activities while the matter is being investigated. The University, through its Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), will make an immediate assessment of any risk of harm to the parties, any other individuals, or to the broader campus community and will take the necessary steps to address those risks.
These steps may include establishing interim protective measures to provide for the safety of the parties involved, any other individuals, and the campus community. Interim protective measures may include the ability to change work schedules; change work assignments; change work locations if deemed necessary; change housing or dining facilities; alter academic schedules; withdraw from/retake a class without penalty; access academic support, such as tutoring; issue no-contact orders; give special consideration for absences related to the incident(s) (e.g., medical appointments, mental health appointments, police interviews, legal proceedings, campus judicial proceedings, and grievance and appeals procedures for employees); and change living arrangements or course schedules. Interim measures may be adjusted throughout the investigation based on an assessment of the evolving needs of the parties.
