Information and Resources

It's hard to know what to do after experiencing sexual violence. You may be hurting, in denial, in shock or unsure what to do next. You may consider reporting, but don't know where to begin. Learning more about what steps you can take following sexual violence can ensure that you get the support you need when you or a friend needs it most. If you or someone you know may have experienced sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and/or stalking, there are resources available to help.

You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. You have the right to refuse to answer questions if you are uncomfortable sharing. The University encourages any student who has been involved in an incident of sexual assault or harassment to report the incident to the University's Title IX Compliance Coordinator, Public Safety, or the Office of the Dean of Students. You have the right to request that someone be with you during an examination or while filing a report. You have the right to choose whether you want to file a report.

Sexual misconduct is a form of gender-based discrimination prohibited by Title IX and other federal and state laws. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs and activities, and has compliance processes in place. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX may be made to the University's Title IX Compliance Coordinator.
