resources. If the Complainant wants to inform the Responsible Employee of what happened but also maintain confidentiality, the Responsible Employee should inform the Complainant that the University will consider the request, but cannot guarantee that the University will be able to honor the request. In reporting the details of the incident to the Director of Title IX Compliance, the Responsible Employee will also inform the Director of Title IX Compliance of the Complainant’s request for confidentiality. When a Complainant requests that the University investigate a report of Sexual Misconduct, to the extent possible, information reported to a Responsible Employee will be shared only with those responsible for handling the University’s response to the Report. Additionally, the Responsible Employee will endeavor to report only information relevant to the current Report. A Responsible Employee should not share information with law enforcement without the Reporting party’s consent or unless the Reporter has also reported the incident to law enforcement. E. Other Disclosures at Campus Events Responsible Employees are not required to report to the Director of Title IX Compliance any disclosure of alleged Sexual Misconduct that is made by a University student or employee during or in connection with (1) public awareness events (e.g. “Take Back the Night,” candlelight vigils, protests, “survivor speak-outs” or other public forums in which students may disclose incidents of Sexual Misconduct), or (2) a student’s participation as a subject in a human subjects research protocol, climate surveys, classroom writing assignments or discussions. These disclosures do not provide notice to the University of Sexual Misconduct for purposes of triggering its obligation to investigate any particular incident(s); however, the University may provide information at such events, and to subjects of such research trials, and classrooms about students’ Title IX rights and about available University and community resources and support services. F. Reporting to a University Confidential Resource A Complainant who wishes to make a confidential report of Sexual Misconduct should contact one of the University’s confidential resources. All employees in the Counseling, Health and Wellness Center as well as the Interfaith Center are not required to report any information about Sexual Misconduct to the Director of Title IX Compliance without an individual’s permission.
