How do you Report Title IX Harassment and/or Discrimination?
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 situation of imminent danger, call 911 immediately or the Marshall University Police Department at 304-696-HELP.
- 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.
- Report the incident.
- Provide assistance: Inform the victim of his/her 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 police does not require the victim to press charges.
- Refer the victim to relevant resources for additional support if needed.
