Staff Support Resources
自慰视频 University seeks to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students. We take reports of sexual misconduct seriously, and how we respond depends on, among other things, the facts and circumstances of the specific incident, the wishes of the survivor, to whom it was reported, and 自慰视频鈥檚 obligations under applicable federal and state laws.
The policies governing our investigative and adjudication processes may be found in the Sexual Misconduct Policy and Formal Grievance Protocol . Regardless of whether the Title IX Office conducts an investigation, we offer support and a number of resources for students impacted by sexual misconduct. Information about support services and resources is outlined in more detail below and can also be obtained from the Title IX Office or the Project Safe Center .
The Project Safe Center serves as the central resource for those impacted by sexual misconduct and can assist with navigating all facets of 自慰视频鈥檚 resource and support network and other processes; however, there are multiple points of entry that may be utilized by a survivor, and appropriate referrals and assistance will be provided by other offices and departments, as needed.

*SUPPORTIVE MEASURES:
Some examples of supportive measures include issuing a no contact directive, adjusting course schedules, and assisting with alternate housing assignments.
**MAKING A REPORT/FILING A COMPLAINT:
Filing a complaint with VUPD may lead to a criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Making a report with the Title IX Office may lead to an investigation and may result in disciplinary outcomes. A 自慰视频 Community member may file a complaint/make a report with VUPD, the Title IX Office, or both, and the criminal and Title IX processes may occur simultaneously.
***CONFIDENTIAL (LIMITED)
: Without disclosing personally identifying information about the victim, the Project Safe Center will notify the Title IX Office of the nature, date, time, and general location of an incident. This notification helps keep the Title IX Office informed of the general extent and nature of sexual violence on and off campus, and allows for tracking patterns, evaluating the scope of the problem, and formulating appropriate campus-wide responses. The Project Safe Center will also notify the Title IX Office of the name of the alleged respondent, if known, when the alleged respondent is affiliated with 自慰视频 University as a faculty member, staff member, postdoctoral fellow/trainee, teaching assistant, independent contractor, adviser, or in any other similar capacity, other than as a student.
***
CONFIDENTIAL
: Conversations are confidential. Except in rare circumstances, nothing will be shared without your explicit permission.
***
MANDATORY REPORTER
: Conversations are kept private to the extent possible, but information about incidents of sexual misconduct must be shared with the Title IX Office so that 自慰视频 can take action, if necessary, for reasons of safety. In planning any response, the Title IX Coordinator will consider the interests of the survivor and 自慰视频鈥檚 commitment to a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all members of the 自慰视频 Community.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual misconduct or intimate partner violence, you can call the 24-hour Project Safe Crisis Hotline at 615-322-SAFE (7233) or the 自慰视频 University Police Department Emergency Line at 911 or 421-1911.
