Need a confidential advisor?
A victim or reporter can choose to seek confidential resources to cope with the effects of sexual misconduct, harassment, and discrimination. This does not constitute filing a complaint and does not officially notify the University.
The confidential advisors are appointed by the University to maintain confidentiality. They provide confidential emotional support and assistance in making decisions important to the well-being of the victim.
