Reporting Incidents

Who can report incidents and to whom?

If any member of the Connecticut College community experiences stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, or sexual harassment (including sexual assault and/or misconduct) or knows that someone else had any of these experiences, that person is encouraged to file a report. Reports can be made by contacting the Title IX Coordinator listed below, or on CamelWeb, where there are two optional forms:

The sexual misconduct anonymous reporting form provides an opportunity for students to anonymously report a violation of sexual misconduct.
- The information provided on the sexual misconduct anonymous reporting form is used for the College's Annual Security report and to inform our understanding of the prevalence of such incidents on campus. When providing information, no information provided on this form should personally identify anyone involved. Due to the nature of these reports, these incidents may not be investigated.
The incident reporting form is to be used by individuals who wish to file a complaint that will be investigated and by faculty and staff members who are reporting alleged violations of College policies.

If a complaint is filed with one of the Title IX Coordinator, the complaint may be investigated, and when appropriate, followed by suitable disciplinary action.

Confidentiality

Sometimes when a person experiences sexual assault they want to get advice from someone who is not required to report their conversation and can keep information about their experience confidential. Nicole Powell, the Director of Sexual Violence Education and Advocacy, (x2235, spowell2@conncoll.edu), is an excellent resource who is protected from the requirement to report what she learns about experiences of sexual, domestic, or intimate partner violence in our community. She is trained to help students understand all the resources available to them, both on and off-campus, and to help them decide on the best actions to take to heal from their difficult experiences. SVPA Confidential Advocates are also available.

Responsible Employees

All student-facing Connecticut College faculty and supervisory staff are “responsible employees,” which means that if they know that someone has experienced sexual misconduct of any kind, they are required by College policy to report it to one of the Title IX Coordinators. For answers to questions about the responsibilities of responsible employees, please contact the Title IX Coordinator (see above).
