Reporting Options
大学最关心的是校园社区成员的安全.
使用酒精或毒品绝不能使一个人成为性暴力的罪魁祸首. Moreover, 不应因为担心他们可能因相关的毒品违法行为而受到纪律处分，就阻止基督教妇女联会的成员报告性暴力事件, alcohol, or other University policies. 在相关调查或诉讼中的投诉人或证人不会因在事件发生时或附近发生的相关违反行为政策而受到大学的纪律处分，除非大学确定违规行为严重, including but not limited to plagiarism, cheating, 学术上的不诚实或将他人的健康和安全置于危险之中的行为.
Where and How to report
For those that have experienced sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and/or related retaliation, there are several reporting options available. 根据事件的性质，许多人选择向多个实体报告.

校园第九条协调员还将与您讨论大学在调查结束或可能的纪律处分之前可能提供的任何合理的支持措施，以减少或消除对您的负面影响，并为您提供可用的帮助. Examples include: adjustment to work assignments, course schedules or supervisory reporting relationship; requiring the Respondent to move from University-owned or affiliated housing; immediately prohibiting the Respondent from coming to the University; or prohibiting the Respondent from contacting the parties involved in the reported incident. 无论您是否选择向校园警察或执法部门报告事件，您都可以使用这些选项. 第九条协调员将随时为您提供协助，并根据您的要求提供合理的补救措施, investigative, and disciplinary processes, and thereafter.

任何时候都可以向大学警察和/或当地执法部门报告. 如果你在事故发生后选择不立即报警, you can still make the report at a later time. However, with the passage of time, 收集证据以协助刑事起诉的能力可能有限. Depending on the circumstances, 警察可能会为你申请刑事限制令.
