Additional Information About Reporting Sex-based Harassment or Discrimination
Q. Will my report be kept confidential?
A. The report will be kept privately and to confidential to the extent possible. If a report includes an imminent safety risk, we will need to act.
Q. What happens if the report I submit isn’t the right one for my situation?
A. It will be forwarded to the appropriate office.
Q. Should I be concerned about retaliation by the person(s) I am reporting?
A. No, we have a policy prohibiting retaliation and we only inform the respondent if a formal complaint is submitted following a meeting with the Title IX Coordinator and with the complainant’s participation. In the event of imminent risk, the Title IX Coordinator may need to sign a formal complaint for the College and we will do our best to respect the wishes of the complainant if this is necessary.
Q. Will my report automatically result in an investigation?
A. No. A report will prompt an email inviting the identified impacted individual for a meeting. At the meeting supportive resources and options will be explained. Our primary focus will be the individual's healing and how we can best support that process. Reporters will have the options to document only and receive supportive resources, to engage in a formal complaint process with the college, or to be connected to law enforcement to engage in a criminal process.
Q: What if I still have questions? Who should I contact?
A. You can reach out to Linda Koenig, Director of Title IX Compliance and Title IX Coordinator, at lkoenig@ithaca.edu or 607-274-7761.
