Be in the Know
If you are a mandatory reporter and someone informs you of an offense that falls under Title IX, report it immediately by taking these steps:
- Ensure your safety and the safety of the reporter/victim; in an emergency or a situation of imminent danger, call 911 immediately.
- Inform the victim that you are required to report the incident, even if the victim chooses not to press charges or file a report with law enforcement; although every effort will be taken to ensure privacy, a mandatory reporter cannot guarantee complete confidentiality.
- Listen to the victim; collect information needed for reporting.
- Report the incident; contact Christine M. Marcuccilli, director, Office of Institutional Equity at 260-481-6109 or [email protected].
- Provide assistance; inform the victim of their option to also self-report the incident to campus police and local police for investigation or to decline to report the incident to law enforcement; filing a report with the police does not require the victim to press charges.
- Refer the victim to relevant resources for additional support if needed; please refer to the following Campus and Community Resources section for contact information and support services.
