General FAQ
What if I just want to talk to someone and do not want to have the College involved?
If you are seeking someone to support you during this time, but do not want to file a complaint, you should seek out a Confidential Resource (employee) or community resources. At Lane, Confidential Resources include clinicians, counselors, and licensed Health Clinic personnel. Off campus, these people may include licensed mental health providers, medical health provides, and members of the clergy.
These people will provide support and direct individuals to resources as well as describe options students have with regards to reporting. Keep in mind that disclosing only to Confidential employees limits the effective response on the College's part.
In cases in which an individual presents a threat to themselves or others, or the safety of a minor is in question, confidentiality is waived in order to keep people safe.
Who is the Title IX Coordinator and what do they do?
The Title IX Coordinator will be informed of all complaints or reports of violations of this procedure, and oversees the College's centralized response to ensure compliance with Title IX and the 2013 Amendments to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The Title IX Coordinator's activities include (but are not limited to):
- Communicating with all members of the College community regarding Title IX and VAWA, and providing information about how individuals may access their rights;

The Title IX Coordinator may delegate responsibilities under this procedure to designated administrators, who will be appropriately trained.

What if I am afraid of retaliation?
Retaliation against the complainant (the person who filed a report, or who is the recipient of the unwelcome behavior) or anyone who participates in any manner in an investigation or resolution of a report of sexual misconduct is expressly forbidden. An individual who is subjected to retaliation (e.g. threats, intimidation, reprisals, damage to one's reputation, or adverse employment or educational actions) is encouraged to make a report of retaliation. Retaliation claims should be reported to the Title IX Coordinator as soon as possible through the complaint link.
