Because domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual misconduct can also constitute sex discrimination, information received by university employees about such incidents must also be reported. Student employees, peer advocates, and volunteers who learn of a violation of 91福利\u2019s Sex Discrimination Policy in the course of their employment, programming, or volunteer responsibilities also are required to report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips on letting students know you are a mandatory university reporter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discuss it on the first day of class<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Let students know that disclosure in written assignments will require you to report<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When meeting with a student privately always start with a disclosure, letting them know you cannot promise confidentiality. This is a good practice as it covers suicidal ideations, intent to harm others, sexual assault, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For more\u00a0<\/strong><strong>information,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jason Smith, Interim Deputy Title IX Coordinator<br \/>\nAssistant Vice President for Student Life<br \/>\n5748 Memorial Union, Suite 315<br \/>\nPhone: 207.581.1406<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:um.titleix@maine.edu\">um.titleix@maine.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>91福利 will not tolerate sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, or retaliation in any form.<\/p>\n<h2>What about confidentiality?<\/h2>\n<p>Employees who engage in communications that are expressly designated as confidential are not required to disclose the content of those communications under this policy. This includes counselors who learn of possible policy violations in the context of a counseling session and researchers to whom disclosures are made by research subjects in the course of IRB-approved research projects.<\/p>\n<p>If a complainant discloses an incident but wishes to maintain confidentiality or requests that no investigation into an incident is conducted or disciplinary action is taken, the incident must still be reported to the Title IX Coordinator. The university will weigh the complainant\u2019s request for confidentially against its obligation to provide a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all students and employees, including the complainant.<\/p>\n<p>If the university honors the request for confidentiality, a complainant needs to understand that the university\u2019s ability to meaningfully investigate the incident and pursue disciplinary action, if warranted, against the respondent(s) may be limited. There are times when the university may not be able to honor a complainant\u2019s request because it would pose a risk of providing a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all students and employees. If the university determines that it cannot maintain a complainant\u2019s confidentiality, the university will inform the complainant prior to starting an investigation and, to the extent possible, will share information only with people responsible for handling the university\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<h2>Reporting incidents<\/h2>\n<h3>Who do I report incidents to?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Incidents involving\u00a0<\/strong><strong>students:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jason Smith, Interim Deputy Title IX Coordinator<br \/>\nAssistant Vice President for Student Life<br \/>\n5748 Memorial Union, Suite 315<br \/>\nPhone: 207.581.1406<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:um.titleix@maine.edu\">um.titleix@maine.edu<\/a><br \/>\nWeb:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/umaine.edu\/titleix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">umaine.edu\/titleix<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Incidents involving\u00a0<\/strong><strong>non-students (e.g. employees, volunteers, visitors, and vendors):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Office of Institutional Equity (formerly Equal Opportunity)<br \/>\n412 Chadbourne Hall<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:equal.opportunity@maine.edu\">equal.opportunity@maine.edu<\/a><br \/>\nWeb: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maine.edu\/institutional-equity\/\">maine.edu\/institutional-equity<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What information do you have to share?<\/h2>\n<p>Official university reporters must share any and all facts provided about an incident.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Name of person reporting an incident<\/li>\n<li>Name of the person(s) involved<\/li>\n<li>Witness name(s)<\/li>\n<li>Date, time and location of the alleged incident<\/li>\n<li>Other relevant information shared by the reporting party<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How will the university respond?<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the identity of the individuals involved, someone from the Office of Sexual Assault and Violence Prevention or Equal Opportunity will reach out to the complainant and provide them with support, services, options, and information on their rights.<\/p>\n<h3>Resources for the person who disclosed an alleged incident:<\/h3>\n<h4>Support Services<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Emergencies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>91福利 Police, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dial 911 from a campus phone<\/li>\n<li>Dial207.581.4040 from other Maine phones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>On-call\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Dean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>207.581.1406<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Peer Advocates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>University of Maine Student Life<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Andrea Gifford: 207.581.1406<\/li>\n<li>Lauri Sidelko: 207.581.1423<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Student Conduct Complaints:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>91福利 Office of Community Standards, Rights and Responsibilities<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>David Fiacco: 207.581.1409<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interim Deputy Title <\/strong><strong>IX Coordinator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Title IX &#8211; Student Services<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jason Smith: 207.581.1406<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>On-Campus Confidential\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of services, both on- and off-campus, available for people seeking confidential support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confidential Resource Advisor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Phone: 201.572.5372 (call or text)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Counseling <\/strong><strong>Center:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Phone: 207.581.1392<\/p>\n<p>You can arrange to speak with a counselor after hours by contacting 91福利 Police at 207.581.4040 or dialing 911 from campus phones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cutler Health Center:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Phone: 207.581.4000<\/p>\n<h4>Emergency Care:<\/h4>\n<p>Ambulance service is available on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
