Any student who has experienced sexual harassment or assault, relationship
violence, and/or stalking is encouraged to seek support and resources.
There are a number of resources available to you.

With that said, as an instructor, I am considered a Responsible Employee,
per UMBC'S interim Policy on Prohibited Sexual Misconduct, Interpersonal
Violence, and Other Related Misconduct.  This means that while I am here
to listen and support you, I am required to report disclosures of sexual
assault, domestic violence, relationship violence, stalking, and/or
gender—based harassment to the University's Title IX Coordinator.
The purpose of these requirements is for the University to inform you
of options, supports, and resources.

You can utilize support and resources even if you do not want to take any
further action.  You will not be forced to file a police report, but please
be aware, depending on the nature of the offense, the University may take
action.

If you need to speak with someone in confidence about an incident,
UMBC has the following Confidential Resources available to support you:

The Counseling Center: 410-455-2742 (M-F 8:30-5)

University Health Services: 410-455-2542 (M-F 8:30—5)

For after-hours emergency consultation, call the police at 410-455-5555


The Women’s Center (available to students of all genders): 410-455-2714
(M-Th 9:306, F 9:30-4)

Title IX Coordinator: 410-455-1606 (9-5)
