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

[Megan Elizabeth Selheim <>]

We have a peer educator group that is also an official student organization here, and I’m on the paperwork as one of the advisors since one of the topics they educate on is violence prevention. However, we’re concerned that as an advisor to a student group, I can’t be a confidential resource under Title IX if one of the group members comes to me with a concern.

 

I have statutory confidentiality in Wyoming, so right now we’re looking at removing me as an official advisor and calling me a “consultant” to the group, but I’m wondering if anyone else has come across this. Our university has designated student group advisors as mandatory reporters under both Clery and Title IX.

 

Thanks!
