Resources that are confidential are not required to share information about sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct with the Title IX Support and Compliance Office. In addition to being confidential, some resources are privileged, meaning that absent special circumstances, information shared with them may not be disclosed without permission, even in a criminal or other external proceeding. Although the College’s goal is to limit the number of individuals who may learn about a report, disclosure, allegation, and/or investigation, the College cannot guarantee confidentiality in all matters.
