If a person has been involved in sexual misconduct, they may need supportive measures to continue their education.
The University of New Mexico supports students affected by sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination, sexual misconduct, or sexual violence. Through the LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center, UNM can implement Academic and Administrative Measures, and through the Dean of Students UNM can implement Safety Measures designed to preserve the complainant’s educational experience, the safety of all parties and the broader University community, maintain the integrity of the investigative and/or resolution process, and deter retaliation. Depending on the situation, these Measures may be placed on an interim or permanent basis, and are available to all students. However, when implementing these Measures, the University will seek to minimize the burden on the victim and/or complainant, in compliance with Title IX guidelines.
