*Confidential advocates and resources may report non-personally identifiable information to OIE, in compliance with Texas state law.
Non-Confidential Campus Resources
All other campus resources are considered non-confidential. Non-confidential resources are individuals who can support you and connect you with resources. However, since they are mandated reporters, they will be required to report your incident to OIE. They will respect your privacy and only share to those they are required to report. This differs from Confidential Resources who do not have to report your information to OIE. Mandatory reporters include all faculty and staff on campus unless they are specifically designated as confidential advocates or confidential resources.
Office of Institutional Equity
The Office of Institutional Equity and the Title IX Coordinator handles all reports and investigations of discrimination and harassment, including sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, stalking and harassment. Contact the Office of Institutional Equity to make official reports of discrimination and harassment.
