Reporting Options

I think something happened to me. How can I report it?

If you believe that you have been subject to or witnessed a Title IX violation you have several options for reporting.

  1. File a report online. This report will be directed to the Title IX Coordinator, who will then reach out to you to discuss your options and possible next steps. No action will be taken until the reporting party has been informed of their options, including filing a formal report, supportive measures, and potential options for informal resolution.
  2. File an anonymous report online. This report will be directed to the Title IX Coordinator. The ability for us to act on an anonymous report is significantly limited, but it allows you to get the information on record in the event that you would like to pursue the case later. Additionally, it provides important information to our Title IX Office as they continually assess the safety of campus.
  3. File a report with the police. This can include either an anonymous report or a full report. The police can explain your rights and options within the legal realm.

What if I don’t want to file a report and just want some help right now?

Regardless of whether you file a report with the Title IX Office or the police you are eligible to receive support services from the University. There are also a number of confidential resources to whom you can speak; as confidential resources they will not disclose any information that you share with them to the police or the University, unless you request that they do so or in the event that someone is in imminent danger. You can find more information on supportive measures and confidential resources by clicking the “contacts” link above.

I am a University employee. What is my obligation to report?

If you are an employee who has the ability to take action to remedy behavior or has been given the duty to report then you are required by university policy to notify the Title IX Coordinator promptly any time that you become aware of a possible Title IX violation.

 Employees who have the duty to report include:

  • Title IX coordinator and deputy coordinators
  •  Director of equal opportunity, policy development, & title IX Vice presidents and associate vice presidents
  • Academic deans and chairpersons
  • Supervisors, managers & program coordinators
  • Coaches and assistant coaches

*Employees who have a duty to report cannot maintain confidentiality (keep the information just between you and them); if they are notified about a possible Title IX violation, they must inform the individual that they are a mandatory reporter and will be passing all information provided along to the Title IX Office.
