Reach out to a trusted friend or colleague. However, certain college employees are required to report to the Title IX Coordinator (aka Sexual Harassment Officer). For both student and staff, we offer confidential counseling who can connect you with additional resources. Details of your experience will not be shared without your permission. Keep in mind, speaking with an advocate does not constitute filing a formal report about the sexual harassment or violence.
You are not required to file a formal report, the choice is all yours. We are here to let you know your options.
Retaliation against a person who has filed a complaint of sexual harassment or violence, or someone who participates in the investigation of the complaint (i.e., witness), is not allowed under institutional policy. Reports of retaliation are taken seriously and may result with disciplinary action.
