State law requires that the College inform the police when it become aware of a sexual assault on campus, even if the student involved does not want to report the incident. All College officials (i.e. College employees including faculty members, administrative staff, resident advisors, and Student Affairs graduate assistants) who become aware of a sexual assault must inform the Director of Public Safety, who will notify the police.
