Relationship Violence & Sexual Misconduct

The most up-to-date information about getting help for relationship violence and sexual misconduct can be found on the Office of Institutional Equity’s website.

The Gender and Sexuality Campus Center is a private resource. GSCC staff can talk to a student or employee about an incident of relationship violence, stalking, or sexual misconduct without triggering the need to report personally identifiable information about the incident to OIE. Disclosure to one of the offices listed above does not constitute a report or notice to the University. The privacy afforded tothese offices is based in policy and not law. Therefore, individuals should recognize that, while the University considers conversations with these offices to be private, disclosure of some information may be required pursuant to a search warrant, subpoena, or statute, and may not be legally confidential.
