If a Title IX violation has occurred, what step is NOT taken?

In a situation where a Title IX violation has been identified, one of the key steps involves ensuring the safety and well-being of all parties involved. This is accomplished through various actions, which include gathering evidence and talking to all involved parties. Providing supportive measures is also crucial to ensure that individuals feel safe and supported during the investigation process.

However, it is not a standard practice for all parties involved to have to talk directly to each other. Direct communication can potentially lead to further complications and may exacerbate the situation, especially if there are power dynamics or safety concerns at play. Therefore, requiring direct interaction among all parties is not a necessary step and could undermine the integrity of the investigation. Keeping communication separate helps ensure that the process remains fair and objective while providing the necessary support to affected individuals.
