- 聽To provide timely, coordinated, consistent, and fair response to disclosures and reports of sexualized violence.

What to expect:
Disclosure, under 麻豆传媒资源鈥檚 Sexualized Violence Policy, means describing an experience of sexualized violence to the sexualized violence advisor (or any member of the university community designated by the policy):
- 聽You can share as little or as much you are comfortable with;
- 聽Disclosing an experience of sexualized violence does not generally start any other process; and
- 聽You may disclose in person or anonymously.
Reporting to the university, under the Sexualized Violence Policy, means describing your experience of sexualized violence in writing to the sexualized violence advisor (and in some cases other members of the university community).
When reporting, you will need to provide:
- The names of everyone involved,
- A detailed description of the behavior that forms the basis of the report, and
- What you would like to see from the process.
Reporting an experience of sexualized violence can start a university process through an investigative or non-investigative stream.
There is no deadline to make a disclosure or report.
Disclosures and reports of sexualized violence will be kept confidential to the greatest extent possible, within the limitations described in the policy.
