Supportive measures1 are supports that the university can provide to assist individuals addressing prohibited conduct2 under the Policy on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Dating and Domestic Violence, and Stalking.3 This report provides data on the number of supportive measures provided to those who made a report of prohibited conduct to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, between January 1 and December 31, 2025. It does not include reports of prohibited conduct made to confidential resources such as the Student Counseling Center, the Student Health Center, or the Office of Ombuds Services.
If the university receives a report of prohibited conduct that may fall under the policy, the university provides supportive measures in support of students and employees so they can learn, live, and work in a safe and nondiscriminatory environment. Supportive measures are available:
- Even if the complainant4 does not want to report the incident to the police
- Even if the complainant does not file a formal complaint5 (The university may be limited in the supportive measures it can implement while keeping the identity of the complainant private, such as providing support services to the complainant; changing living arrangements or course schedules, assignments, or tests; and providing increased monitoring, supervision, or security at locations or activities where the prohibited conduct occurred.)
- To the complainant, the respondent,6 and witnesses, when determined to be appropriate by the Title IX coordinator or designee
- Before, during, or after the investigation or resolution of a report of prohibited conduct
After receiving a report of prohibited conduct, the Title IX coordinator or designee will take immediate and appropriate steps to ensure that individuals are made aware of all available supportive measures and reporting options, including filing a report with the police and/or filing a formal complaint with the Office of Title IX. The most common supportive measures were tracked, although additional supportive measures are available. An individual may receive as many supportive measures as they accept.
This report does not reflect any comprehensive supportive measures provided in 2025 for individuals who reported incidents to the Office of Title IX in previous calendar years.
