A Note About Confidentiality
The University is federally obligated to take action to address, remedy, and prevent the recurrence of all incidents of sexual misconduct that it knows about or should reasonably have known about. In order to meet this obligation, the University has designated all employees except the confidential resources listed above as Responsible Employees. Responsible Employees must contact the Title IX Coordinator to report incidents of sexual misconduct of which they gain knowledge.
A Note About Privacy
While Responsible Employees cannot maintain confidentiality, they are required to respect the privacy of anyone who discloses an incident of sexual misconduct to them. This means that Responsible Employees are instructed not to disclose information to anyone other than those to whom they are obligated to report.
Learn about the procedure for reporting sexual misconduct.
Methodist University’s complete Sexual Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Violence and Title IX Policy is in the Student Handbook.
