51¶ºÄÌ

At the University of New 51¶ºÄÌ, we are committed to creating a community of respect, civility, and honor. The health and safety of our community members are a top priority. In line with this mission, we enforce Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, which prohibits acts of sexual misconduct (sexual harassment, sexual assault, and/or sexual exploitation), intimate partner violence (dating violence and domestic violence), and stalking at educational institutions. Acts of sexual misconduct and intimate partner violence are a violation of University of New 51¶ºÄÌ policy and state law. We encourage you to report any incidents of sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence, or stalking and/or to utilize the support and advocacy services available to you.

Mandated Reporters

All employees, including faculty, staff, and administrators, are mandated reporters, except for those employees with confidentiality (health providers, professional counselors, and pastoral counselors whose official responsibilities include providing mental-health counseling to members of the University community). This means that when you report or disclose information regarding sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence, or stalking, the University employee will need to report this to the University’s Title IX Coordinator.

Confidentiality

You can make a confidential report to employees of on- and off-campus counseling services centers, health service providers, clergy, and local 24-hour hotline staff members of sexual assault crisis services and domestic violence services (see details and contact information in the On- and Off-Campus Resources section). All other employees are mandated reporters as stated above.
