If you have experienced sexual misconduct, including sexual violence, this is the information you need if you choose to file a report on your campus. This information is valid for everyone in the Indiana University community—students, faculty, and staff—including non-U.S. citizens.
If you or someone else is in danger, call or text 911 right away. If you are under age and under the influence, Indiana’s Lifeline Law assures that you will not be prosecuted if you report a crime or request emergency medical assistance. So make the call. A life may depend on it!
You don’t need to decide whether or not to report right away, but you are encouraged to take care of yourself. This may mean seeking medical attention if you or someone you know has experienced any type of sexual or relationship violence.
There are several options if you do decide to report the incident. You can do it through campus police or local law enforcement, the IU student conduct system, or your campus Deputy Sexual Misconduct & Title IX Coordinator.
It’s important to preserve evidence before you get medical attention or contact police.
Try not to alter the scene where the incident occurred, and don’t try to collect evidence yourself.
You can make a report by contacting your campus Coordinator or the University Sexual Misconduct Title IX Coordinator, a student affairs administrator or another University Responsible Employee, online at StopSexualViolence.iu.edu, or by reporting to IUPD. If you make a report through campus authorities, they can help you notify law enforcement, if that is your decision.
The university will work with you to protect your privacy by sharing information with only those who need to know.
