The Department agrees with commenters who argued that institutions must carry on to have discretion in pinpointing irrespective of whether or how to address numerous stories involving a solitary respondent in instances in which complainants would like to stay anonymous or if not are unwilling to participate in a formal course of action. The Department is persuaded by commenters' arguments that pupils should be capable to discuss a circumstance with a Title IX Coordinator without the need of the Title IX Coordinator remaining demanded to initiate a grievance method versus the complainant's wishes, and by commenters' assertions that it is not unusual for respondents filing personal lawsuits versus the recipient to contain the complainant as a bash to such lawsuits, so dragging a complainant into a grievance procedure towards the complainant's wishes exposes the complainant to probable involvement in non-public litigation as very well. Commenters asserted that students need to be ready to explore a situation with out the Title IX place of work initiating a official procedure without the need of the complainant's authorization. Where a complainant does not desire to participate in a grievance method, together with remaining cross-examined at a are living hearing, the receiver is not permitted to threaten, coerce, intimidate, or discriminate versus the complainant in an attempt to protected the complainant's participation.
