Conflicting information on a student must be resolved when

• A. it is reported to the Title IX Office
• B. the institution receives the conflicting information
• C. the U.S. Department of Education notifies the school of the conflicting information
• D. The student appeals.

Answer: (B)

When conflicting information about a student comes to the institution’s attention, immediate action is required to gather facts, protect students, and determine next steps. The school should begin resolving what happened as soon as it receives the information, rather than waiting for a formal complaint, external notification, or an appeal. This prompt response helps ensure safety, fairness, and consistency in handling potential policy violations, and it allows appropriate interim measures and investigations to start without delay.
