Confidential Support
If a Complainant would like the details of an incident to be kept confidential, the Complainant may speak with a confidential resource. A confidential resource means that the staff members are required by law and by licensure to keep information provided by clients confidential with very few exceptions.
*Although they are University employees, they are not required to report your information to the Title IX Coordinator.
- On-campus licensed professional counselors at the Counseling Center
- On-campus health service providers at the Health Center
- On-campus clergy members acting in their role as clergy
- Off-campus (non-employees):
- Licensed professional counselors and other medical providers
- Local rape crisis counselors
- Domestic violence resources
- Local or state assistance agencies
- Clergy/Chaplains
- Attorneys
All of the above-listed individuals will maintain confidentiality when acting under the scope of their licensure, professional ethics, and/or professional credentials, except in extreme cases of immediacy of threat or danger or abuse of a minor/elder/individual with a disability, or when required to disclose by law or court order.
*Exceptions to confidential reporting: Medical and counseling professionals are required to report child abuse, elder abuse and situations where there is deemed to be an immediate threat of harm to self or others.
