Sexual Violence and Confidentiality

We encourage victims of sexual violence to talk to someone about what happened – so you can get the support you need, and so the University can respond appropriately.

Whether a University employee is able to maintain confidentiality depends on the employee’s position and responsibilities at the University. Most university employees have a duty to report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator.

Please refer to the table below to assist you in making informed choices about where to turn for help.

If you report an incidence of sexual violence to the police, the police are required to notify you that your name will become a matter of public record unless confidentiality is requested. If you request confidentiality, your name will not become a matter of public record and the police will not report your identity to anyone else at the University, including the Title IX Coordinator. However, the facts of the incident itself will be reported to the Title IX Coordinator, and the type of incident will be included in the annual crime statistics report, as required by the federal Clery Act.

A victim can report to the police and request confidentiality in order to keep their identity confidential.
