The Title IX and Equity Office will make every effort to safeguard your privacy. We will not alert the alleged offender without your knowledge or permission should you submit a report or speak with someone in our office.
The Title IX and Equity Office, however, is not a confidential resource, as we may share information in reports with other conduct-affiliated university administrators to help us fully assess whether the alleged offender poses a potential safety threat to our campus. Again, these conversations will be discreet and not include the alleged offender.
The Title IX and Equity Office appreciates that you may prefer to access support or receive your options confidentially, meaning nobody else will learn about the conversation or what you said to the confidential resource. In other words, you can share information with a confidential resource, and they will not share your identity with our office or law enforcement.
Please know, however, that information shared with a confidential resource does not constitute notice of an incident to SFBU. On- and off-campus confidential resources are listed below.
All SFBU employees, who are not designated as confidential resources, are required to promptly report any knowledge of a possible violation of the Nondiscrimination Policy or related incident to the Title IX and Equity Office.
On-Campus Confidential Resources
You can share information with a confidential resource and the confidential resource will not share your identity with the Title IX and Equity Office, or with law enforcement. However, all confidential resources may need to share general, non-personally identifiable information with SFBU’s Safety and Emergency Administrator (Clery Coordinator) to comply with federal law. Information shared with any confidential resource does not constitute notice of an incident to SFBU and will not result in any formal action from the university without further reporting. Confidential resources can explain how an individual can report an incident to the Title IX and Equity Office.
