Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["O'Connell, Jennifer" <>]

Has anyone had hesitation on the part of health services staff to report names for Title IX when they see a student because of a sexual assault?

 

If the student specifically says they do not want to report the assault, want to be anonymous and that they just want medical care, does just reporting the assault to Title IX as “Jane Doe” and documenting that the student does not want to make an official report suffice?  The student does receive information about resources and their rights.

 

Thank you.

 

Jennie
