Seeking Support and Advice
You can seek support and advice from private resources including faculty members, advisers to student organizations, many service administrators on campus, student activities personnel, and staff. However, these resources may be required to report the incident. If you are unsure of someone’s duties and their ability to maintain your privacy, simply ask them before you speak to them about your incident. They will be able to tell you their responsibilities and to help you make decisions about who can best assist you.
