Privacy

The College is committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals involved in making a report or complaint under this policy and will make every effort to protect the privacy interests of all such individuals in a manner consistent with the need for a thorough review of the allegations. Privacy generally means that information related to a report of misconduct will only be shared with a limited circle of individuals. The use of this information is limited to those college employees who “need to know” in order to assist in the active review, investigation, or resolution of the report or complaint. While not bound by confidentiality, these individuals will be discreet and respect the privacy of all individuals involved in the process. Reporters should also be aware that the college may be required to disclose information in response to the legal process or when the college’s need to protect the safety of others outweighs privacy concerns.

Confidential Resources

Often a person reporting or otherwise concerned about sexual misconduct wants a discussion to be confidential or off the record.
