Privacy and Confidentiality
RIT Offices and employees that cannot guarantee confidentiality will maintain your privacy to the greatest extent possible. The information you provide to a non-confidential resource will be relayed only as necessary for the Title IX Coordinator to investigate and/or seek resolution. If you disclose information during certain events such as a public awareness event, a protest, a class or class project, or advocacy event, RIT is not obligated to investigate based on the public disclosure. However, RIT may use the information disclosed to further the university's prevention and awareness efforts. Confidential resources will not report crimes to law enforcement or other university officials without your permission except under extreme circumstances, such as a health or safety emergency. There will be no formal report, investigation, or disciplinary action taken as a result of a confidential report. Please refer to our Support Services page for a list of internal and external resources as well as accessible confidential resources.
