- Appropriate medical referral (if needed).
- Referral to the Health and Counseling Center to meet with a counselor who will provide additional emotional support and assist victims in sorting out feelings associated with the incident.
- Provide advice on the university's discrimination complaint procedures, disciplinary action (if alleged offender is known), alternative housing assignments, academic assistance, and the role of advocate in other proceedings.
- Make every effort to contact victim/person affected within 24 hours and, while respecting whatever decision they have made, encourage them to get some type of assistance.
The Vice President of Diversity and Inclusivity coordinates the process of reporting incidents by:
- Encouraging person(s) affected to report the occurrence to appropriate Law Enforcement Agency for investigation and/or prosecution.
- Notifying the following offices (or others) as appropriate and with the victim's consent: Dean of Student Success(if the alleged offender is a student), Office for Equal Opportunity (if the alleged offender is an employee), University Housing and New Student Programs (if either the victim or the alleged offender is living in the residential community), Student Medical and Counseling Center, Academic Affairs (if the victim needs to alter course schedule), and the Office of International Student Programs (if either the victim or the alleged offender is involved in that program), Student Employment Office (if the alleged offended is a university student employee).
