Reporting

You can file a complaint here.

• Look at your school’s policies on sexual misconduct and the Title IX complaint process

• Write everything down:

  • Save any emails, texts, letters, or messages from the person who assaulted or harassed you, or any messages or emails you sent to someone else about the incident.

  • Write down what happened to you, including dates and times, where it occurred, what exactly was done and said, and the names of any potential witnesses from during, before, or after the incident. Include as much detail as possible. If you’re comfortable doing so, ask any witnesses to write down what they saw or heard.

  • Keep notes of any meetings you have with school officials. Record the time, date, and places of the meetings, who was there, and what was said.

  • Keep copies of all documents, emails, or letters regarding your report, the investigation, the Title IX complaint, and any other related files, including copies of your responses.

• Report the sexual assault or harassment to a school official

  • Try to find contact information for your school’s Title IX Coordinator. If you can’t find it, ask a trusted teacher, your RA, academic adviser, or guidance counselor. But remember: If you tell a teacher, professor, advisor, or counselor about sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring, they’re required by law to report it to a school official

  • If you do want to officially report and have the school investigate, we recommend submitting your report in writing, whether it’s an email or letter that you give to the Title IX coordinator in-person

  • If you report orally (not in writing) in-person or on the phone, we recommend sending a follow-up email or letter confirming what happened during the conversation
