尼科尔斯学院第九条政策

尼科尔斯学院性行为不端政策

If a student or employee wants to speak with a confidential resource, 学校内外都有训练有素的员工. Help and support is available to those who want to talk in detail about an incident but are not sure if they are ready or interested in reporting to the College or law enforcement.

信息 shared with Confidential Resources (including information about whether an individual has received services) will only be disclosed to the 第九条协调员 or any other individual only with the individual’s express written permission, unless there is an imminent threat of serious harm to the individual or to others, or a legal obligation to reveal such information (e.g., if there is suspected abuse or neglect of a minor).

信息 that is shared with a Confidential Resource does not constitute a Report or notice to the College of concerns of sexual misconduct.

The 第九条协调员 will make parties aware of the resources available to them. In the event of an emergency, the highest priority should be to get to a safe place if possible.  Consider contacting law enforcement and/or seeking medical attention.  The quickest way to access law enforcement and/or medical resources is by dialing “911“越快越好.  Additionally, you may consider contacting one or more of the resources below:

The College encourages everyone to report concerns about possible Sexual Misconduct to the College’s 第九条协调员. Sharing such concerns enables the College to offer support to impacted parties and protects the community from continuance of the alleged misconduct. This Policy distinguishes the action of filing a Report from filing a Formal Complaint. 因此, information shared about suspected Sexual Misconduct does not automatically trigger formal action or an investigation, 如下所述. 重要的是, a person does not need to be directly impacted by Sexual Misconduct in order to make a report. 而, anyone who observes or otherwise learns about concerns regarding Sexual Misconduct is encouraged to report.

Some forms of Sexual Misconduct may also constitute crimes. The College also strongly encourages any individual who experiences, 目击者, or learns of possible criminal conduct to report them to the 尼科尔斯学院公共安全系 or local law enforcement. Prompt reporting allows law enforcement to collect and preserve evidence. The College values you, your story, and your life.
