Filing a Formal Complaint vs. Reporting a Concern
Individuals have two options when it comes to reporting a concern or incident to the Office of Equal Opportunity, Accessibility, and Title IX (EOATIX): reporting a concern or filing a formal complaint.
Report a Concern: Reporting a concern involves reaching out to the EOATIX office by phone, email, or Zoom or visiting our office in person. This is highly recommended as the first course of action if you haven't yet spoken with anyone in our office. You can reach out with questions, concerns, or requests for information and resources at any time. Reaching out to report a concern through this method does not initiate an investigation into the incident or begin resolution processes.

File a Formal Complaint: Alternatively, if you've spoken with us or are otherwise sure you'd like to pursue further action, you have the option to file a formal complaint using the Title IX Formal Complaint Form. Submitting this form will initiate an investigation into the incident and you can work with us to decide whether you'd like to pursue a formal or informal resolution process.

How Can I Report a Concern or File a Complaint?
What are my Options?
After getting in contact with our office, the Title IX Coordinator will send an email to the complainant to invite them to a voluntary meeting and provide information about supportive measures, rights, resources, and reporting and resolution options. After an initial meeting, the Title IX Coordinator will work with the complainant to discuss the various options available.
In general, complainants have the following options:
Privacy and Immunity
Dartmouth has a non-retaliation policy that we strictly enforce. Dartmouth will not retaliate against any person who, in good faith, has reported a suspected violation of law or made a complaint against Dartmouth or another individual or entity with which Dartmouth has a business relationship.
In general, identifying information will only be shared on a “need to know” basis. In the event of imminent threat of harm to self or others, information will promptly be shared with the Department of Safety and Security or local law enforcement.
Dartmouth will generally grant immunity from disciplinary action to a reporting student, whether as a complainant or a reporting party, for the personal ingestion of alcohol or other drugs in violation of Dartmouth's Standards of Conduct that is part of a report of prohibited conduct. Students should be aware that any such grant of immunity from disciplinary action by Dartmouth does not affect actions by law enforcement agencies. Dartmouth will not initiate conduct charges against a complainant or respondent arising from the same set of facts or circumstances to interfere with any right or privilege secured by Title IX or the Title IX regulations.
Clery Act Reporting
Under the Clery Act, Dartmouth includes statistics about Clery Act crimes in its daily crime log and Annual Security Report. The information is reported in a manner that does not include personally identifying information about persons involved in an incident. Dartmouth may issue a timely warning to the community for reports of Clery-defined conduct if it institutes a serious or ongoing threat.
