Hence, the below resources provide valuable support and/or access to options, while also holding the responsibility of reporting up to the Title IX Coordinator.

Ombuds Services
An "Ombuds" is a person who can be consulted by members of the university community who want to get information about University policies relating to their activities or who encounter problems that they cannot resolve through ordinary channels.
The University of Maryland provides Ombuds services for faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students.
