It is recommended to meet with a confidential source before filing a complaint so that you can best understand all of your options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title IX is not a confidential resource. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are confident that you wish to file a complaint, you may file a Title IX complaint<\/a> involving a student, staff or faculty member with the Title IX Coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n

Filing a report of sexual misconduct<\/a> with the university does not obligate you to pursue or participate in subsequent action. However, if the university reasonably believes that pursuing a case is necessary to provide a safe, nondiscriminatory environment for all members of our campus community, the university may continue to pursue the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survivor may choose to participate in the disciplinary proceeding as the complainant, as a witness for a person acting on their behalf, or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is your right to have an advocate or other representative with you at all stages of the reporting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An advocate can be reached at 507.452.4440 or you can contact the Advocacy Center of Winona 24\/7 at 507.452.4453.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See a complete description of Title IX policies and procedures<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminal or Civic Complaints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A victim\/survivor has the right to criminal or civil legal resources outside of the university, including access to protective orders. The Title IX Coordinator, campus safety, or a confidential advocate can assist in reporting to law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For civil complaints, the victim\/survivor should consult with a private attorney. A confidential advocate can guide and assist a victim or survivor during criminal or civil proceedings<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
