请求保密:上州医科大学将如何权衡请求和回应:

If you disclose an incident to an 上州医科大学 employee who is responsible for responding to or reporting sexual violence or sexual harassment, 但希望保密 or do not consent to the institution’s request to initiate an investigation, 第九条协调员必须权衡您的要求与我们提供安全保障的义务, 对我们社区所有成员一视同仁的环境, 包括你.

在进行调查之前，我们可能会征求您的同意. 你可以拒绝接受调查, and that determination will be honored unless the 上州医科大学’s failure to act does not adequately mitigate the risk of harm to you or other members of the 上州医科大学 community.

  • 被告是否使用武器或武力;
  • Whether the reporting individual is a minor; and
  • 我们是否有其他手段获取证据比如监控录像, and whether the report reveals a pattern of perpetration at a given location or by a particular group.

The University is obligated to issue timely warnings of Clery Act crimes occurring within relevant geography that represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees (subject to exceptions when potentially compromising law enforcement efforts and when the warning itself could potentially identify the reporting individual or victim/survivor). 举报个人永远不会在及时的警告中被识别出来.
