The University prohibits intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination against any individual for exercising rights under Title IX, making a report or formal complaint, testifying, assisting, or participating or refusing to participate in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing. Retaliation is prohibited regardless of the outcome. A determination that an individual knowingly made a materially false statement in bad faith may be addressed under the University's applicable conduct policies; a determination of nonresponsibility, standing alone, does not establish that a report or statement was knowingly false. See 34 C.F.R. § 106.71.
