Formal Complaints

Any member of the Methodist University community can submit a report, grievance, or concern to the MU Title IX Office. However, before the Title IX Office can consider assigning a matter for investigation, in accordance with both law and policy, a Complainant must submit a specific document referred to as a Title IX Formal Complaint.

A Title IX Formal Complaint differs from any other grievance or report in that it must contain ALL of the following:

1. Specific allegation(s) of Sexual Harassment
2. A statement requesting that MU investigate the allegations under its Title IX Policy
3. Signature of the Complainant (this can be digital)

Once submitted to the Title IX Office, the Formal Complaint will be reviewed, and the identified Respondent(s) will receive notification that a Formal Complaint was filed and the contents therein.

MU Police & Public Safety Office

The Campus Police & Public Safety Office is available at any time for members of the community who wish to speak with a uniformed officer (call 910.630.7098). Reports can be made at any time, during any day of the week.

If requested, the Title IX Coordinator or a designee can be present during meetings at the Public Safety Office, so that reporting parties do not need to repeat themselves unnecessarily to both police and Title IX.

All members of the community have the right to report to BOTH Title IX and the Police, and this right does not have to be exercised at the same time; a person may report initially to Title IX and then later to the police, or potentially not at all.

Please note that all information provided to the Title IX Office must be reviewed for purposes of the Clery Act. The Title IX Office must disclose information that identifies a crime occurring within the university’s Clery geography, however identifying information of the reporting party can be withheld as appropriate.
