She is empowered to provide supportive remedies and academic adjustments to all individuals involved in these situations and to protect the safety of the campus community through these measures. You can also request a formal investigation or an informal resolution of your complaint by filing a report with the Title IX Coordinator.

Preserving Evidence

Even if you choose not to report the incident to the University or to law enforcement, you are encouraged to take steps to preserve evidence. This will ensure that evidence is available if you later decide to proceed with a criminal or university investigation.

• Do not shower, bathe, douche, and/or brush your teeth or hair.
• Seek treatment at a local hospital emergency room as soon as possible.
• Immediately notify medical staff if you believe drugs or alcohol were involved. Medical staff are specially trained to collect evidence and perform tests, including tests that can provide important evidence if drugs or alcohol were involved.
• Save any clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault in a paper bag.
• Make every effort to save anything that might contain DNA. Do not clean up or move anything that might have been touched.
• Write down as much as you can remember about the circumstances, including a description of the other party.
• Save any electronic communications with the assailant or relevant to the incident (voicemails, emails, text messages, social media messages or posts, etc.).
