To Report Complaints of Sexual Violence: A victim of sexual violence has the right to file (or not file) an Affirmative Action Discrimination Complaint Form with the College. Contact the College’s Title IX Coordinator, which is the Director of Student Services. For Title IX purposes, the Title IX Coordinator will keep information confidential to the full extent permitted by law.

A victim may also choose to file a criminal complaint, with assistance from the building’s Municipal Police officers. Reporting the incident to the Title IX Coordinator or Municipal Police does not obligate the victim to file criminal charges.
