Confidentiality and Privacy
Different employees on campus have different abilities to maintain a victim’s confidentiality.
All employees are expected to keep reports and personal information private—that is, to be respectful and discreet. If a formal report of policy violation and/or personal violation is necessary, all employees are expected to report only to campus officials that need to know information in order to follow due process. Employees are required to report all the details of an incident (including the identities of both the victim and alleged perpetrator) to the Department of Safety, the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Coordinator.
A report to employees constitutes a report to the University and generally obligates the University to investigate the incident and take appropriate steps to address the situation.
