举报不当性行为

W中的任何成员&J community who believes they have witnessed or experienced sexual misconduct is urged to promptly report the matter to 第九条协调员, 第九条调查人员, 教职员:教员或职员中的任何一员, 或者使用在线表格.

匿名报告除了向工作人员报告外,华盛顿 & 澳门葡京博彩软件 uses an online reporting system that allows users to make reports anonymously 使用此网上表格. It is important to note that while the institution will evaluate all reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment, the institution’s ability to investigate and respond to allegations may be limited depending on the information provided in the report. Individuals are encouraged to review the institution’s policy for investigating reports of sexual violence for more information about procedures and resources. Only 第九条协调员 and the Vice President and Dean of 学生生活 have access to those reports. Information gathered in the online system will be used to begin the resolution process, 这可能涉及正式调查.

提出投诉:  写报告和正式投诉是不一样的. 正式投诉将导致调查. 结果将是对事实的发现. 当投诉被提交时, the complainant (person making the complaint) is requesting that the investigative process is invoked and that sanction, 视情况而定, 被分配.

谁需要举报潜在的不当行为?

W&J有道德, moral and legal responsibilities to follow up on all disclosures of sexual and relationship violence. 违反事件的报告是要求调查和协助. 任何社区成员都可以报告他们的担忧, 但某些员工必须举报违反第九条政策的行为. 义务记者不能对提供给他们的信息保密, 即使幸存者要求他们这么做. 义务记者包括:

  • 全体教职员工
  • 副总统和总统
  • 监事
  • 学生生活员工,学生员工除外
  • 宿舍助理和LINK导师

第九条协调员收到报告后会发生什么?

收到报告后, 第九条协调员 will begin an intake process that involves gathering basic information and providing interim remedial measures to the survivor. 学院将努力为幸存者提供合理的补救和住宿, 同时尊重各方的权利. 只要有可能,重担不会落在幸存者身上.

报告是保密的, 不保密的, 有关该报告的信息只在一个非常有限的第九条团队之间共享. 一旦做了报告, the College’s ability to protect the survivor’s confidentiality is limited by its obligations to take action to prevent further harm to the individual and community. The College will take steps to mitigate and remediate harm even when an anonymous report is made, 但根据现有信息,其反应将是有限的.

如果我不想向学院或执法部门报告怎么办?

机密资源: You can ask a confidential resource not to share any information with anyone else without your permission unless they fear you will harm yourself or someone else is in danger. 校内保密资源包括:

  • 学生健康和咨询中心(新宿舍楼一楼):724-223-6107
  • 学生健康服务(新宿舍楼一楼):724-223-6047
  • 员工援助计划: 877-240-6863

您可以在不进行报告的情况下获得某些类型的帮助. A counselor (学生健康 and Counseling Services) can give you more information regarding the following:

  • 在校内外的宣传和咨询
  • 医疗保健
  • 在医院急诊室收集法医证据
  • 法院的限制令
  • 有关法律选择的信息

我是义不容辞的记者. How should I respond when someone shares that they or someone they know has experienced sexual misconduct?

The first response a survivor receives can have a long-lasting positive or negative impact on their well-being. 作为披露的接收者, 你的角色是让幸存者确信他们向你倾诉是正确的, 给他们提供可以帮助他们的资源, 履行你的法律报告义务. You don’t have to provide advocacy and ongoing emotional support, or find out what “really” happened.

避免以下情况:

  • 响应s that convey skepticism or disbelief, as these are the most damaging to survivors
  • 问一些不必要的问题
  • 告诉幸存者他们“必须”做些什么
  • 承诺接下来会发生什么

采取的步骤:

  • 提醒必须申报的事项: 作为一名义务记者, 你不能对你得到的信息保密, 即使幸存者要求你这么做. 当你怀疑有人要透露, 轻轻地打断他们,提醒他们你是一个义务记者. Offer them confidential resources and let them know that you are willing to listen if they wish to continue.
  • 检查安全: Ask the person if they are safe now; if not, 打电话给学校 & 公共安全:724-223-6032. Ask if they need medical assistance; if so, refer them to 学生健康 and Counseling. 如果是非工作时间,请联系校园 & 请公共安全部门协助前往医院. 揭露性暴力或关系暴力可能会令人尴尬和恐惧. There is no need to ask for more details than the person initially gives you about the incident. 虽然你不能保证接下来会发生什么, you can tell the person that you appreciate their trust and given them the resources that can be helpful to them.
  • 参考: 当你结束谈话时, 询问他们是否想和辅导员或校园里的人谈谈 & 公共安全. 从资源列表中给他们适当的电话号码. 取决于他们的反应, you can offer to call the counseling center for them to make an appointment or walk them over.
  • 报告: 如果幸存者有危险, 或者你认为犯罪者可能对其他人有危险, 打电话给学校 & 尽快保证公共安全. An obligatory report can be made by phone or by email (email is preferable) to 第九条协调员 (or designee), 负责学生生活的副主席 & 学生主任或到校园 & 公共安全.
