Sexual Misconduct Report Form


This form is for reporting potential violations of our Sexual Misconduct Policy  which includes the following behaviors; Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Dating/Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Exploitation.

Students and Employees are encouraged to use this form if they believe that they have been impacted or were a witness to a potential violation of the Sexual Misconduct Policy. Employees are required to use this form to report potential violations if an incident was disclosed to them by a student.

The submitted report is reviewed by the Title IX Coordinator who will keep the information as private as possible. The information contained in the report will only be shared with those who have a role in addressing the policy violation. The complainant (the person who experienced the alleged misconduct) will be contacted to assess needs for resources and supportive measures, and the respondent (the person who engaged in the alleged misconduct) will only be contacted on an as needed basis. The Title IX Coordinator will assess next steps based on safety concerns for the individuals involved and for the campus community.

It is the responsibility of the Title IX Coordinator, a staff member of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance  to manage these incidents, facilitate supportive measures, and oversee the processes related to resolution of sexual misconduct incidents.

If you or someone you know has been impacted by sexual misconduct, there are a variety of resources and support on our website . Resources are available for on- and off-campus incidents and several are available 24 hours a day.

The University may share non-identifying information about reports received in aggregate form, including data about outcomes and Disciplinary Sanctions.

Please note that submissions using this form are not received outside of normal business hours. If there is an immediate risk to health or safety, please contact WCU Public Safety at 610-436-3311.
