海角社区

海角社区 is committed to supporting our community, providing fair processes to resolve complaints, and responding with compassion and prompt attention to complaints. Students are NOT required to provide additional information about the incident or participate in a university investigation in order to receive services. Our goal is to provide all students with information on reporting options so they can make an informed decision. If you've experienced some sort of sexual harassment, misconduct, or discrimination the decision of what, when, and to whom to report is always up to you. If you choose to share with a mandated reporter on campus (most employees on campus) then they will share what you've told them with the Title IX Coordinator so that you can be sure to get the most up-to-date information on how 海角社区 can support you. On the other hand, if you do not want the report shared with the Title IX Coordinator you are encouraged to speak with one of the Confidential Resources listed below when you're ready. 

海角社区 encourages reports to be made in close proximity to the incident even though reports can be made to the Title IX Coordinator, confidential resources, and law enforcement at any time. 

If you're an employee who is a mandated reporter and you have questions about your reporting obligations, please review this page for more information. 

Online Reporting

Individuals may file a report online, 24/7 a week. Anonymous reports are accepted; however, anonymous reports may limit the University's ability to respond. Access the reporting form here:

Mandated reporters are obligated to report instances of sexual or gender-based discrimination or harassment as soon as possible to the Office of Title IX. Likewise, all University personnel are encouraged to Listen ->  Support -> Report. For more information, please review our Employee Response Guide.

Formal Reporting

Confidentiality of Reports

Information learned through a report or investigation under this Policy is kept as private as possible and shared only on a need-to-know basis in order to comply with state or federal laws or to assist in the active review, investigation, or resolution of the report and related issues. 

University employees and/or agents assisting with any alleged Prohibited Conduct falling under this Policy are expected to safeguard private information in accordance with applicable laws (including, but not limited to, FERPA and other privacy laws). Information about incidents of alleged Prohibited Conduct must be shared with relevant administrators if the Title IX Coordinator determines that the University needs to take action in order to provide a safe and non-discriminatory environment for the entire campus community, but that disclosure will be as limited as possible.

Nothing in this Policy should be construed to unreasonably or unlawfully limit a party’s ability to prepare for, or participate in, the process used to address potential violations of this Policy. Notwithstanding, the concern for privacy extends to the parties, advisors, and witnesses. The misuse of information provided by the Office of Title IX, including the disclosure, duplication, or dissemination of information for a purpose unrelated to the gathering of evidence and/or witnesses or otherwise not for the purpose of participating or preparing for the Investigation may result in violations under this Policy.
