If you believe you’ve experienced sexual discrimination, misconduct, harassment, or retaliation, please know that you are not alone—and support is available.
The Title IX Office is here to offer support and guidance, whether you choose to work things out informally or make a formal report.
To learn more about your rights, options, and available support, please contact us at 801-627-8300 or email titleix@otech.edu.
If you want to file a report for yourself or for someone else, select Report an Incident below.
This will take you to the online form, where you can also upload files.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination and harassment in an educational setting. Covered offenses include sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking and sex discrimination.
You may submit a report anonymously by clicking the Report an Incident button above. Please be aware that choosing to remain anonymous may limit our ability to respond or offer the supportive measures we typically provide. Without a way to contact you, we aren’t able to share resources, offer guidance, or assist with an investigation.
Once a report is received, the Title IX Coordinator will carefully review it. If you’ve included your contact information, we will reach out to offer supportive measures, share available resources, and invite you to meet to discuss your options. Participation is completely voluntary. If you choose to meet, we will walk you through the process and explain the support available.
We can usually honor your request not to move forward with an investigation. However, if there are safety concerns, we may have to proceed. Our goal is to address the behavior and help prevent it from happening again.
An informal resolution happens when both sides agree to resolve the issue voluntarily without a formal process. A formal investigation involves gathering facts and following a set process that ends with an official decision.
We work to complete all investigations as quickly as possible. The time it takes can vary based on the case, individual needs, schedules, and other important factors.
Respondents and Claimants do not have to meet or talk directly. Advisors may ask questions for them during a hearing, as required by Title IX rules. Both sides can review and respond to statements and evidence, and the investigator handles all communication.
Participation in an investigation is voluntary. Findings will be based on the information available at the time of review. While we encourage everyone to take part so the process is as thorough as possible, investigations may still move forward even if some individuals choose not to participate.
The parties may have a support person with them during meetings with Title IX Coordinator.
A support person may be a parent, legal guardian, friend, faculty member, student support specialist, attorney, or other person that the claimant or respondent would like to be present for emotional support. However, a support person may not serve as a witness. A support person must follow the rules of the process and may not formally participate in the process beyond supporting the party.
OTECH has a strict policy against intimidation and retaliation. This includes any action that might stop someone from making a report or taking part in an investigation. If you believe you have experienced intimidation or retaliation, contact the Title IX Coordinator right away. If you feel you are in danger, call campus security at (801) 430‑5139 or dial 911.
