51²è¹Ý provides a number of resources to all students, including students who have been accused of sexual harassment, witnesses in these cases and friends of students involved in these cases.
It is important to note that all 51²è¹Ý faculty and staff members are mandatory reporters, meaning they are required by law to report cases of sexual harassment to 51²è¹Ý’s Title IX Coordinator. This requirement applies to all employees, including confidential counselors in Counseling Services and the Chaplain's Office, although these employees are only required to report the type of incident and may not include any information that would violate a student's expectation of privacy.
