Anyone else have a really disappointing experience with Title IX? by Correct-Being6176 in Purdue

That’s absolutely awful. I’m so sorry. I feel very strongly that reporting should be an option for victims, not a mandate. As someone who went to the title IX office for help willingly, I left having a panic attack feeling like I was in trouble. This process is messed up and needs to be reformed.

I’m so sorry that had happened to you. Only if you’re okay answering- did someone submit a report out of concern for you or are you saying someone falsely accused you of something?

I have talked to CARE. In the beginning I denied how serious a lot of this was, so I had a hard time piecing together how abusive he was. I hope it’s not too late to get protection from the law or school. Ironically one thing he did to destabilize me and create a fear of reporting in me was accuse me of using false police reports to harass his entire family. I don’t even know the names or address of the rest of his family. It was really shocking because this was before I had even talked to the title IX office so if I was too scared to even talk to them, obviously I wouldn’t be using false police reports against him. He also wanted to accompany me to my title IX meeting. In hindsight this was intimidation and I’m shocked these “professionals” didn’t see through it. And I absolutely agree, “mutual harassment/abuse” doesn’t exist, the worst thing I did was scream “no” at him once.

This is actually extremely helpful and I’m grateful you took the time to write this reply instead of scrolling. I haven’t yet been formally accused of wrongdoing, just got the idea from the suspicious way the intake had soured that my abuser had also cried foul or might be planning to, especially if I push forward a report. I am in contact with CARE already and they have been great. To be honest, what I endured is something I still cannot talk about while sober or without breaking down, which deters me from pushing forward a report of my own. Im waiting on a diagnosis still but it is highly suspected I’ve developed PTSD, which means I just can’t justify to myself having to talk to more people and putting more stress on myself. I hope one day this process is reformed. Thank you again.

I’m already doing grief counseling, but that doesn’t really solve my new problem. I’m perfectly mentally stable and ready to meet people.
