Victims of sexual assault, rape, dating or domestic violence, stalking, or sexual harassment are encouraged to report the incident to our office to enable the听University to respond appropriately. See 鈥渉ow do I report an incident鈥 and 鈥渨hat happens if I report an incident鈥 on this page.
Even if you are not ready to report the incident, we strongly encourage that you seek resources and support. The Resources box on this page lists confidential (i.e. will not disclose your name or any other information without your permission) and non-confidential resources. We also encourage that you seek medical attention as soon as possible after the incident, both to ensure your wellbeing and to preserve any evidence in case you decide to file a report.
We understand that it can be extremely unsettling to be accused of rape or other sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking, or sexual harassment. The Title IX Office is dedicated to serving as a neutral entity, assuring that there is a fair and reliable gathering of the facts in any investigation. In addition, the responding person is offered the same rights as the reporting person including the right to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion by all persons involved in the disciplinary process, freedom from intimidation and harassment, and timely access to relevant information and documents.
If a friend confides in you, or if you suspect a friend may have been the victim of rape, sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking, or sexual harassment, we can provide you with resources and information to help support them. You are not required to name your friend or give any identifying information about them if you do not wish to. You also have the ability to report an incident on behalf of a friend. See "how do I report an incident" and "what happens if I report an incident" on this page.
As a faculty or staff member at Nazareth, you are considered a responsible employee, meaning you have an obligation to report to the Title IX Coordinator any incidences disclosed to you by a student or colleague.
Nazareth and the Title IX office conduct all proceedings in compliance with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), which limits the information that we can provide. We cannot discuss anything case specific without your student's express permission. While you are welcome to contact the Title IX office to discuss our process and resources, we recommend that you first speak directly with your student about the course of action they wish to take and how they would like you to support them during that process.
Contact any Title IX coordinators/deputy coordinators by phone or email, or report an incident online using the , which can be submitted anonymously. You can report an incident for yourself, or on behalf of a friend.
There are several ways to report, and the reporting method you choose affects what happens next.
