Advisors & Confident Advocates

Advisors play a critical role in the process by supporting parties, complainants or respondents, involved throughout the entirety of the process. Parties are able to have an advisor/support person accompany them for any meeting.

The role of an advisor is to serve as a second set of eyes for the advisee and help them understand their rights, guide them through procedures, and may cross-examine the other party and witnesses during live hearings (for Title IX cases only). An advisor can be anyone of a party’s choosing, including an attorney.

The College also has Confidential Advocates who can serve as both advisors and confidential resources to students navigating a Title IX or sexual misconduct process. If a party is interested in confidential support with an advocate, they can do so by contacting that team directly.
