Confidential Resources

Confidential Resources include any University employee or independent contractor who has the ability to maintain the confidentiality of communications under applicable law or by designation. Confidential Resources include medical, clinical, and mental-health professionals, and clergy when acting in that professional role in the provision of services; and any employee providing administrative, operational and/or related support for such providers in their performance of such services. Confidential Resources will not disclose information about Prohibited Conduct without the individual's written permission or as set forth in the Confidentiality section above. When individuals who otherwise are Confidential Resources receive information outside of the provision of services, the Confidential Resource is required to share that information with the Assistant Director of Institutional Equity and Title IX Coordinator. For example, a licensed counselor who receives a disclosure in the context of speaking at a prevention program would be required to share the information with the Assistant Director of Institutional Equity and Title IX Coordinator.

The following are on-campus Confidential Resources:

  • If there is reason to believe that child, elder, or dependent abuse has occurred.
  • If you report being sexually assaulted and are under the age of 18.
  • If the individual express threats of violence towards another person.
  • If federal law enforcement officials request your information under the United States Patriot Act.
  • Under court order, subpoena or as otherwise required by law.

Employees may also obtain confidential counseling from the University's Employee Assistance Program, which can be accessed by contacting the 1-888-293-6948.

Assistance and information relating to incidents involving sexual assault, intimate partner violence and stalking may also be obtained from these organizations not affiliated with the University. Be sure to ask each organization about its policy concerning confidentiality.
