Resources for Faculty and Staff

Several offices and individuals on campus are designated as confidential resources for members of the University community who wish to discuss an incident of sexual misconduct without or before reporting it to the Title IX Coordinator. Individuals who are not prepared to make a report or who may be unsure how to label what happened to them, but seek information and support, are encouraged to contact a confidential resource.

If a complainant wants to maintain confidentiality by disclosing only to a confidential resource and not reporting to the University, the University will be unable to conduct an investigation into the particular incident or pursue disciplinary action against the respondent.

Additional offices on campus serve as private, or non-confidential resources. Full confidentiality and anonymity cannot be guaranteed when reporting instances to these offices. However, individuals within these offices do everything in their power to keep information private and on a need-to-know basis in order to best assist you, and move forward with an investigation if one takes place.

A complainant who initially requests confidentiality may later decide to file a complaint with the University or report the incident to law enforcement and have the incident fully investigated.
