Sexual Misconduct Report Form
This form may be used to report information to the Malone University Title IX Coordinator related to an alleged violation of the Malone University Sexual Misconduct Policy by a member of the MU Community. MU prohibits sexual misconduct of various forms, including, but not limited to: sexual harassment; sexual violence; gender-based harassment; intimate partner violence; stalking; intimidation; and retaliation.
Q: Who can use this reporting form?
A: Anyone.
Q: What happens when I submit this report?
A: The report is delivered to the Malone Title IX Coordinator for review. The Title IX Coordinator will assess the harm to individuals as well as any request for confidentiality.
Q: Will the Title IX Office contact me?
A: Yes. We will want to acknowledge and follow-up on your report, check-in with you to learn what resources and support you might want or need, and make sure that you have been provided important information about options and next steps.
Q: What does NOT happen when I submit this report?
A: This form does not initiate an adjudication, under the College’s Sexual Misconduct Policy of the alleged behavior. This form provides you with an opportunity to provide the Title IX Officer with information related to sexual misconduct. The report will initiate a review. If you are a person who believes they have experienced sexual misconduct by a current Malone University student, faculty, or staff member, you may, if you choose, file a complaint to initiate an adjudication process. Information about adjudications can be found in the Student Handbook.
Q: I am not sure if I should file this report. Can I talk to someone about my questions without providing details about the information I’m considering reporting?
A: Yes. The Title IX Coordinator and the confidential advisors on campus (contact the counseling center, Spiritual Formation Office, or Compass Office on campus). They would be happy to speak with you to answer all of your questions. You do not need to provide us with information about the report in order to get your questions answered!
