Assistance for Victims: Rights and Options

Return to: Title IX: Table of Contents  

Regardless of whether a victim elects to pursue a criminal complaint, whether the offense is alleged to have occurred on or off campus, or whether the accused is a student or an employee of the College or not, the College will assist victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. A Title IX Coordinator will provide each victim with information of a victim’s rights and options. The rights and options will include:

• The procedures victims should follow if a crime of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking has occurred;
• Information about how the institution will protect the confidentiality of victims and other necessary parties to the extent possible;
• A listing of available counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance and other services on and/or off campus;
• A statement regarding the College’s provisions about options for, available assistance in, and how to request accommodations and protective measures; and
• An explanation of the procedures for the College’s disciplinary action.
