While we encourage you to report incidents or concerns directly to the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinators, or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access which are non-confidential reporting options, there are a number of confidential resources who will not share information with the Title IX Coordinator/EOA Office. Here you will find a list of both confidential and non-confidential offices.
Reporting Options
The University's Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinators, and Equal Opportunity and Access are designated as non-confidential but will respectfully keep shared information private except for a need-to-know basis. The UMPD is a confidential reporting agency only for incidents of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking per state law.
Confidential Support Options
These offices and organizations offer confidential support and are not required to report information to Title IX staff.
Please Note: If you choose to tell a UMass employee, it is important to know that shared information may not be kept confidential. Some UMass employees are considered "Responsible Employees" by law and University policy, which means they cannot keep Title IX information confidential and are required to report incidents to the Title IX Coordinator.
Confidential Community Resources
These are confidential resources in the greater community that offer support and guidance.
