A. Confidential College Employees. The College Chaplain and Student Health and Counseling Center maintain the highest level of confidentiality. As confidential College employees, if they receive information within the scope of their confidential roles, they are not required to notify the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility, Human Resources, or anyone else at the College about conduct that may be prohibited by this Policy. If appropriate, confidential employees may be able to provide the contact information for the Title IX Coordinator or the Associate Vice President of Human Resources and information about how to submit a report and request supportive measures.

B. Other Confidential Resources. There are confidential resources that are external to the College that will not disclose any information to the College. Examples include:

C. Mandated Reports. Any College employee must promptly notify the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility/Title IX Coordinator or Human Resources about conduct that may reasonably be believed to be prohibited by this Policy. Notifications should include the information disclosed and may be submitted in-person, by phone, email, Teams message, or by submitting the reporting form. Confidential employees are not required to submit mandated reports.

Even if not a mandated reporter, all members of the College community are strongly encouraged to report conduct that they believe may be prohibited by this Policy or the Nondiscrimination Policy, whether experienced firsthand, observed, or learned.
