Accused of Sexual Misconduct?
Someone accused me of sexual misconduct. What happens next?
The following information is intended to serve as a starting point for students who've been accused of sexual misconduct and have some questions.
How Does Reporting Work?
There are two ways in which your name may have been included in a sexual misconduct report:
- The survivor/victim reported you directly.
- A third-party has reported you and the incident.
All St. Norbert College faculty and staff are mandatory reporters. This means if they become aware of an instance of potential sexual misconduct, they are required to report it to the college. This is for the protection and safety of the entire campus. Additionally, student workers, while on duty, are required to report incidents.
What Can I Expect?
If a student is accused of sex or gender-based discrimination, harassment, or violence, they are subject to action in accordance with the Sex and Gender Harassment/Discrimination Policy Those accused of sexual misconduct are referred to as the respondent throughout the complaint resolution process.
The Title IX coordinator will be in touch with you in regards to your rights and responsibilities as the respondent and to explain the complaint and resolution process.
Who Can I Talk To?
Our confidential resources are available to you as the respondent, should they be desired.
In addition, the Title IX coordinator is available to answer your questions, provide you with additional information or assist you in accessing support services, should you need them:
