That's not better it is flat out wrong. Malbec is misleading here or just flat out wrong. The accommodations start at the complaint not after an investigation. Accommodations = no contact letter, change in class schedule if the are in the same section or nearby classes, counseling. Simple accommodations for a university of Baylor's size. Hiring a huge counseling staff (not just for sexual assault) is certainly less costly than our outcome. The expensive one that you may want to delay until after a resolution is a change in housing.
From the Garland deposition, scenario that female went to Baylor Health Center after a rape. No rape kits so refer to free clinic for STD. My employer would say, call ambulance. Let female decline transport to a trauma center if she chooses. Report complaint to Title IX coordinator. Done. T9 coordinator contacts. Starts a file and looks at necessary accommodations. This is a non-event.
I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over accommodation. You have been purposely misleading for quite a while now. First, there is no requirement under Title IX to provide accommodation prior to a determination of responsibility. An institution may choose to provide temporary accommodation, but is not required by law to do so. Even if the institution decides to offer some type of accommodation for a complainant, that accommodation (schedule changes, housing assignments, protection orders) are not permanent, and are reassessed upon the disposition of the case. These post-disposition accommodations are dependent on those results and might include such things as suspension or expulsion for cases involving students, termination, suspension or probation for cases involving staff, or disassociation and banishment for affiliated personnel (like vendors or contractors that work on campus).
NoBSU, the context of my post was in regards to the notion that the determination of responsibility was irrelevant in regards to an investigation of Title IX procedures, and my response was specific to that notion. I was not misleading anyone, everything I said was true, and Keyser certainly understood that, and I am appreciative of his intellectual honesty in that regard.
