harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual exploitation, dating and domestic violence, and stalking.

reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct that could constitute sex discrimination
or sexual harassment), in-person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail, using the contact
information listed below for the Title IX Coordinator, or by any other means that results in the Title IX
Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time
