The Title IX Coordinator will review the final investigative report under the same guidelines outlined in Section 14.3.1.2 to determine whether the case should proceed to a hearing or be dismissed.

If the Title IX Coordinator determines that case will proceed to a hearing, then the Title IX Coordinator will notify the Hearing Officer, and begin the process of convening a Hearing Panel. The determination to convene a Hearing Panel does not predetermine that the Respondent is or will be found responsible for a policy violation.

The Title IX Coordinator may also suggest an Informal Resolution at this stage.
