| Jul 29, 2019 at 23:25 | comment | added | Flyto | @StrongBad I don't think there is a formal legal process such as there might be in the US, because (a) In an employment situation it would be a matter for HR, and (b) neither person is an employee. But the universities will have procedures in place. | |

That said, going straight to the Title IX office will result in some people claiming that the OP blew a small misunderstanding out of proportion (I disagree with that, but think the OP is better off covering her bases). | |
| Jul 29, 2019 at 20:18 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | I think this is way to descriptive. I'd go with "I prefer not to have communication with you that is unrelated to our professional responsibilities. Please respect this decision". No threats of action, as none is needed. If the communication continues, elevated it to the supervisor or chair, or Title IX coordinator. The alternative would be elevating it right now, without communication, which is probably the right thing to do. | |
