What to Expect when Filing a Report

What to expect when: Reporting to the University

  • 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### has designated the Director of Civil Rights & Title IX as the Title IX Coordinator, who is responsible for overseeing all complaints of sexual misconduct at 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########. An individual who has experienced sexual misconduct has the right to choose whether to report the incident to 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Title IX Coordinators are specially trained to work with individuals who report sexual misconduct and have knowledge about on- and off-campus resources, services, and options — including the availability of interim protective measures and accommodations. View more information on University support resources.
  • You have the right to receive written information on all of your rights and options, including your rights to receive support resources, proceed with a University investigation, or to file a report with police. The University respects the needs and choices of the Reporting Party. For general information about the University’s response to a report, refer to the full Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy.

What to expect when: Reporting to Police

  • The criminal process is separate and distinct from the university’s process. 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### encourages individuals to report incidents of criminal sexual misconduct to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Timely reporting to the police is an important factor in the successful investigation and prosecution of crimes, including sexual violence crimes, and may lead to the arrest of an offender or aid in the investigation of other incidents.
  • Reporting the incident to the police does not mean an individual is obligated to participate in an investigation.

For more information about the university’s process to investigate and adjudicate cases, refer to the full Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does information about a reporting party remain private?

Typically it does. The University will maintain the privacy of all parties to a report, except when doing so interferes with the university’s obligation to respond to the allegations. When privacy is not strictly kept, it will still be tightly controlled on a need-to-know basis. Violations of the privacy of the reporting party or responding party by a 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### employee could lead to disciplinary action.

In Title IX investigations, all parties will be informed of the outcome. Certain 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### administrators are informed of the outcome due to their role at the university.

The institution must statistically report the occurrence on campus of major violent crimes, including certain sex offenses, in an annual report of the campus crime statistics. This statistical report does not include personally identifiable information.

If the reported act may constitute a felony under Ohio law, the university is required to report it to the Granville Police Department. This does not mean that charges will automatically be filed or that a reporting party must speak with a law enforcement officer.

Can I make the report anonymously?

Yes. An individual may make an anonymous report concerning a sexual misconduct violation without disclosing their name, identifying the responding party, or requesting any action. 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s ability to respond to an anonymous report may be limited.

The Anonymous Tips Form allows anyone to report suspected misconduct anonymously, including the suspected Title IX violations or other issues, anonymously. This service allows the person making the report and university administrators to confer about additional details, while maintaining the reporting party’s anonymity. All reports that include allegations of sexual misconduct are sent to the Title IX Coordinator.

Will the University tell my parents?

Generally, no. Students are encouraged to inform their parents if they are facing serious disciplinary consequences or academic jeopardy. University officials will inform parents at the student’s request or in life-threatening, or other emergency, situations.

Will the University inform my supervisor?

Supervisors will not typically be informed of reports. If a supervisor must be informed for workplace-related reasons, the reporting and responding parties will be notified.

If you are a respondent and are found responsible for a violation of the Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy, your supervisor will be informed as necessary to implement any sanctions.

Will the responding party know my name?

It depends. If you request a no contact directive or a formal investigation, the responding party will know your name. If you request some types of informal resolution, you will be consulted about whether the responding party is told your name. If you do not want any type of process, the responding party will not typically know your name or that you have made a report. However, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### reserves the right to share this information if it is necessary to address an ongoing danger to the community. In such a situation, you would be notified as soon as possible, if not before.

Do I have to name the respondent, if I am reporting something that happened to me?

No. You are not required to provide any specific information to the Title IX Coordinator unless you are requesting resolution, either formal or informal. You should be aware, however, that not identifying the respondent will limit the 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s ability to respond comprehensively.

If no respondent is identified, the goal of the Title IX Coordinator is to offer supportive resources to the impacted individual.
