Non-Confidential resources

A trusted university faculty member, staff member, and coach, as well as a Community Coordinator (CC) or a student Community Advisor (CA) can be a good resource to speak with. However, per Title IX regulations and Denison policy, these employees are required to report all instances of sexual assault and other sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence or stalking. However, in most cases, it is up to the reporting person if the university will pursue the report. For more information about the University’s process to investigate and adjudicate cases, please see the “Denison’s Response and Process for Reports”

University provided support and protections: The university can provide protections, like no contact orders, and accommodations in academics, housing, dining, etc. For more information, visit the “How do I get through this?” section of the website.
