Confidential Resources (On & Off-Campus)
University Resources
The university has trained staff with whom an individual may discuss an alleged violation of this Policy without the information being reported to the Title IX Coordinator and who can provide an immediate confidential response in a crisis situation.
- Safeline responders (336) 278-3333 (anytime) and Assistant Director of GLC for Violence Response and other members of the Gender and LGBTQIA Center who are acting in their role to provide violence response (336) 278-5009. Without disclosing personally identifying information about the Complainant, Safeline and/or the Assistant Director of GLC for Violence Response will notify the Title IX Office of the nature, date, time, and general location of an incident. This notification helps keep the Title IX Office informed of the general extent and nature of sexual misconduct, both on and off campus, and allows for tracking patterns, evaluating the scope of the problem, formulating appropriate campus-wide responses, and fulfills all obligations as Campus Security Authorities under the Clery Act.
