Disposition
“Disposition” means “final result under the institution’s disciplinary process” as defined in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s (THECB) rules for TEC, Section 51.259 (see 19 Texas Administrative Code, Section 3.6(3) (2019)]; therefore, pending disciplinary processes will not be listed until the final result is rendered.
No Findings of a Policy Violation
This section refers to instances where there is no finding of responsibility after a hearing or an appeal process; investigations completed with a preponderance of evidence not met are excluded, because it would not have moved forward into a disciplinary process.
The institution may have determined “not to initiate a disciplinary process.”
The reasons for not initiating a discipline process can include, but are not limited to: case dismissal; insufficient information to investigate; confidential employee reporting (no identifiable information); the respondent’s identity was unknown or not reported; the respondent was not university-affiliated; the complainant requested the institution not investigate the report; informal resolution was completed; investigation is ongoing; or an investigation was completed with a preponderance of evidence not met.

|---|---|
| Any disciplinary action taken, regarding failure to report or false reports to the institution | 0 |
| Any disciplinary action taken, regarding failure to report or false reports to the institution: Employee termination | 0 |
| Any disciplinary action taken, regarding failure to report or false reports to the institution: Institutional intent to terminate, in lieu of employee resignation | 0 |
Reporting Requirements
When identifiable, duplicate reports were consolidated and counted as one report in the summary data, and confidential employee reporting is noted as a sub-set to the total number of reports received.
Reports made by students and all other non-employees (including incidents under 3.5(d)(3)) are excluded. Additionally, if a Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinator determines that the type of incident described in a report, as alleged, does not constitute “sexual harassment,” “sexual assault,” “dating violence,” or “stalking” as defined in the TEC, Section 51.251, the report is excluded. It is the responsibility of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator to assess each report received and determine whether it is properly included in the report, and if so, to correctly identify the type of incident.
For more information about reporting and publishing requirements, reference the Texas Education Code Section 51.253.
For more information related to grievance process, reference the Texas Education Code Section 51.252.
