FAQ: If You’ve Been Accused
Where can I go for information and help if I’ve been accused of sexual violence?
Find your campus Respondent Services Coordinator.
What services does the respondent services coordinator provide?
The Respondent Services Coordinator can:
- Help you understand your rights.
- Explain and help you navigate the investigation and adjudication process.
- Refer you to campus and community resources for psychological counseling, legal services, alternative housing, academic changes and other needs.
- Assist with securing an interpreter or translator, if needed.
Will the respondent services coordinator keep what I tell them confidential?
Respondent Services Coordinators are not required by state or federal law to keep information confidential. If the university receives a court order to provide information, the Respondent Services Coordinator will be legally required to disclose it. In this scenario, the coordinator will try to inform you that information will be disclosed beforehand, if possible.
