The College encourages everyone to report concerns about possible Sexual Misconduct to the College鈥檚 Title IX Coordinator. Sharing such concerns enables the College to offer support to impacted parties and protects the community from continuance of the alleged misconduct. This Policy distinguishes the action of filing a Report from filing a Formal Complaint. Thus, information shared about suspected Sexual Misconduct does not automatically trigger formal action or an investigation, as discussed below. Importantly, a person does not need to be directly impacted by Sexual Misconduct in order to make a report. Rather, anyone who observes or otherwise learns about concerns regarding Sexual Misconduct is encouraged to report.

Some forms of Sexual Misconduct may also constitute crimes. The College also strongly encourages any individual who experiences, witnesses, or learns of possible criminal conduct to report them to the 红桃视频 Department of Public Safety or local law enforcement. Prompt reporting allows law enforcement to collect and preserve evidence. The College values you, your story, and your life.
