Title IX requires all universities to respond promptly and effectively to complaints of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. Universities must take immediate action to eliminate the offending conduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. BU is committed to promptly investigating the circumstances of a complaint to determine what occurred, ensure complainant safety, and provide remedies. Learn more about BU’s Title IX policies.

Never promise students confidentiality with respect to incidents of possible sexual misconduct. While you can reassure students that you will treat their information with sensitivity and discretion, you are mandated to report the information they convey to you.

Title IX
Each school at BU has its own Title IX Deputy Coordinators who are available for consultation and assistance in matters of possible sexual misconduct. If a student tells you about an incident of sexual misconduct, you are obligated to report the incident to one of the Wheelock Title IX Deputy Coordinators or to the University’s Title IX Coordinator.

Basic information about sexual misconduct and reporting can be found on the Sexual Misconduct Report Form, which should be submitted to the Wheelock Title IX Deputy Coordinators. Learn more about sexual misconduct issues.
