Immediate action shall be taken against anyone determined to be in violation of the district policy. There is no time limit on reporting a complaint to the Title IX coordinator. However, if the responding party is no longer attending De Anza College, or a significant amount of time has passed since the alleged incident occurred, then the college's jurisdiction and the ability to investigate, respond and provide remedies may be limited. At that point, it is up to the discretion of the Title IX coordinator to pursue the complaint.
