Assistance and support services are available for both the accused/respondent and victim/complainant. All University resources share information (except communications within a privilege*) only with those who have a need to know in order to ensure that the complainant’s needs are met, the respondent is treated fairly, and campus safety needs are met. Such information could be the nature, date, time, and general location of an incident. You are free to discuss issues with faculty and staff members with whom you are comfortable, but recognize that their response (appropriately so) may be to discuss the matter with one of the resources above. The goal is to prevent problems, and if a problem arises, to address it and meet the needs of those affected.
