Who are Mandated Reporters at EVMS?
Mandated Reporters at EVMS are:
¨ The President of EVMS
¨ Any Senior Vice President or Vice Provost
¨ Any Vice Dean, Associate Dean, or Assistant Dean
¨ Ay Program Director of a Health Professions Educational Program.
If I talk to an Mandated Reporter about sex discrimination or sexual misconduct, what will he/she tell me?
In cases of sexual violence, the first priority is always addressing the immediate needs of the victim (safety/security and support). Once that has been addressed, or in cases not involving sexual violence, the Mandated Reporter will tell you:
¨ That they have an obligation to report what you tell them to a Title IX Coordinator so your confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, but any request for confidentiality will be passed to the Title IX Coordinator.
¨ That there are Confidential Resources available to you if you want to speak with someone confidentially.
¨ That you have a right to file a Title IX Complaint and information about what can be found on the EVMS Title IX webpages.
¨ That you are protected from retaliation in accordance with the Office of Compliance Reporting/Anti-Retaliation Policy
