Confidential Advisors

Confidential Advisors receive specialized training regarding laws and campus policies in order to support and advise students, faculty, and staff before and/or during the complaint process. Confidential Advisors serve as a resource for community members to ask questions and receive information without instituting notice and an investigation under PM-73. Confidential Advisors may be present during any meeting conducted under PM-73 to assist and/or consult with a student or employee. Confidential Advisors are authorized to facilitate supportive measures on behalf of students and employees, and they will assist individuals with reporting incidents to the Title IX Coordinator and/or law enforcement (if desired).
