See Mandated Reporting Obligations of University Officials, Volunteers and Employees under the University Reporting Obligations section for more information. Individuals designated as having confidentiality are required to report the nature, date, time and general location of an incident to the Title IX coordinator. Confidential resources will not share other information with the Title IX Coordinator or any other employee of the University without the express permission of the disclosing party. Confidential resources can provide information about the University and off-campus resources, support services and other options. As noted above, because of the confidential nature of these resources, disclosing information to or seeking advice from a confidential resource does not constitute a report or Formal Complaint to the University and will not result in a response or intervention by the University. A person consulting with a confidential resource may decide to make a report to the University and/or law enforcement. The following individuals have been designated as confidential resources pursuant to the University’s Title IX Exemptions Policy (DIV-010): • Director, Assistant Director, Nurses, Medical Records and Clerical Staff at the Health and Wellness Center. • Director, Clerk Typist 3, and Graduate Assistant(s) in the Women’s and LGBTQ+ Resource Centers. Communication with certain individuals may be privileged by operation of law and reports made to these individuals will not be shared with the University Title IX Coordinator or law enforcement except in very limited situations, such as when failure to disclose the information would result in imminent danger to the individual or to others or as otherwise required by law. Only individuals employed by the University as licensed campus professional counselors, acting in their capacity as such, are afforded this statutory privilege. All University proceedings are conducted in compliance with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Clery Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), state and local law, and University policy. No information will be released from such proceedings, except as required or permitted by law and University policy. The University may share non-identifying information about reports received in aggregate form, including data about outcomes and Disciplinary Sanactions. 5. Disability Accommodations This Policy does not alter any obligations of the University under federal disability laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Parties may request reasonable accommodations for disclosed disabilities at any point before or during the resolution process that do not fundamentally alter the process. Requests for accommodations may be made to the Title IX Coordinator and may be referred to another appropriate party or office on campus. The Title IX Coordinator will not affirmatively provide disability accommodations that have not been specifically requested by the Parties, even where the Parties may be receiving accommodations in other University programs and activities.
