When sexual harassment is alleged, all faculty and staff are required to report. If the alleged harasser is an employee, this must be reported to the Human Resources office. Cases in which a faculty or staff member is notified of possible sexual harassment by a student require a report to the Office of the Dean of Students.
The following summarizes faculty and staff responsibilities:
Anonymous notification of sexual assault to University Police is required from:
University Police
Dean of Students
Campus Recreation
University Union
Athletics
Report to the Dean of Students of sexual harassment by a student is required from all faculty and staff.
Report to Human Resources of sexual harassment by an employee is required from all faculty and staff.
For more information regarding required notification or reporting contact University Police, Dean of Students or Human Resources, as appropriate.
When a student or fellow faculty member discloses sexual assault, relationship violence, or stalking, referral to the CARE office for information, support, crisis response or referral, as appropriate, is always a recommended option. Remember that CARE can also help you effect a referral to CARE, even when the one who discloses may be understandably reluctant to talk to another person.
The CARE office will support faculty and staff to in their roles as student mentors, and will help to clarify appropriate responses to students who need assistance. If you are unsure of the appropriate contact, CARE can help with connection and use of the many on-and off-campus resources.
