If someone has experienced 性 misconduct or sex-based discrimination, they can submit an electronic report at the link below or in-person with a 第九条协调员. Reports filed through this office are separate from any law enforcement reports which may or may not have been filed.

提交报告

Employees who learn that someone has experienced 性 misconduct MUST report all information known to them to the 第九条协调员. 

If you or someone you know has been a victim of 性 misconduct, you may also report the incident to the University Police Department.

负责任的员工

负责任的员工 are those employees who must promptly and fully report complaints of or information regarding 性 misconduct to a 第九条协调员. 负责任的员工 include any administrator, 主管, 教员, or other person in a position of authority who is not a Confidential Employee or Privileged Employee. Student employees who serve in a 主管y, or managerial role are in a position of authority for purposes of the 不正当的性行为 Policy (e.g. teaching assistants, residential assistants, 学生 managers). 负责任的员工 are not required to report information disclosed at public awareness events (e.g., “夺回黑夜,烛光守夜, 抗议活动, “survivor speak-outs” or other public forums in which 学生 may openly disclose incidents of prohibited conduct). 

匿名报告

第九条 and 不正当的性行为 reports can be made anonymously. Incidents may be reported without disclosing one’s name or identifying the Respondent (person who is alleged to have engaged in the misconduct), or by requesting no action be taken. However, this may limit the institution’s ability to respond to the anonymous report.

Please note: 负责任的员工 must disclose all information shared with them and are not able to submit anonymous reports.

机密性和. 隐私

Confidentiality and privacy are different. Confidentiality is limited to someone who, by law, can keep information confidential. Health Services and the 咨询中心 are the only designated on-campus confidential resources where you can learn about support and options. Exceptions to confidentiality exist where the conduct involves suspected abuse of a minor (in Georgia, under the age of 18) or otherwise provided by law, such as imminent threat of serious harm. 

Information communicated through 第九条 and 不正当的性行为 reporting process will be kept 私人, meaning shared only with university employees who 需要参与 in responding to or addressing a report. Relevant information collected during an investigation will be shared with the Complainant (person who experienced the conduct), Respondent (person who is alleged to have engaged in the misconduct), and their advisors (if applicable) in the investigation report.

Amnesty from Drugs and Alcohol Use 

Individuals are encouraged to come forward and to report S性 Mmisconduct even if they were under the influence at the time of the incident. Information reported by 一个学生 during an investigation concerning 消费 of drugs or alcohol will not be used against the particular 学生 in a disciplinary proceeding or voluntarily reported to law enforcement; however, 学生 may be provided with resources on drug and alcohol counseling and/or education, as appropriate. 不过, these 学生 may be required to meet with staff members in regards to the incident and may be required to participate in appropriate educational program(s). The required participation in an educational program under this amnesty procedure will not be considered a sanction. 

Nothing in this amnesty provision shall prevent an institution staff member who is otherwise obligated by law (the Clery Act) to report information or statistical data as required.
