Please note: Other than the Health & Wellness Center staff, all College employees (including RAs) who become aware of a sexual assault at Sarah Lawrence College are required to report to the Title IX Coordinator. The College offices and employees who cannot guarantee confidentiality will still maintain your privacy to the greatest extent possible. The information you provide to a non-confidential resource will be disclosed only as necessary to a select few College administrators for the Title IX Coordinator to investigate and/or seek a resolution.

It is your choice to determine if you wish to pursue legal action, which is a separate process from reporting to the College.
