Resources and Support
Students and employees who are victims of sexual violence have a right to report the crime to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ security or local law enforcement. Making a complaint with the University does not limit the rights of a student or employee to report a crime.
We do not require you to notify the police, but strongly encourage you to do so, as it is your legal right.
