Complaints Under Title IX

Reporting Sexual Misconduct

Lamar Institute of Technology (LIT) has procedures in place to sensitively respond to those who report relationship violence, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and stalking, including informing individuals about their right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of assistance in the form of counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, and other services on and/or off campus, and additional remedies to prevent contact between a complainant and an accused party, such as housing, academic, transportation and working accommodations, if reasonably available. LIT will make such accommodations, if the victim requests them and if they are reasonable, regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to local law enforcement. A victim may decline to notify local law enforcement; however, LIT will assist victims who choose to make such reports. When making a report to a law enforcement agency, a victim may use a pseudonym so that their name will not appear in public files.

Anyone wishing to report sexual misconduct should contact the Title IX Coordinator as follows:

Brenda McKay
Email: titleix@lit.edu
Office: 855 East Lavaca
Eagles' Nest Office 128
Beaumont, TX 77701

Individuals may file anonymous reports; however, anonymous reports may be difficult for the College to follow up/or take action on, where validating information is limited.
