Federal Statistical Reporting Obligations
Certain campus officials have a duty to report sexual misconduct, stalking, and relationship violence for federal statistical reporting purposes (Clery Act). All personally identifiable information is kept confidential, but statistical information must be given to College Police regarding the type of incident and its general location (on-or off-campus, in the surrounding area, with no specific addresses are given) for publication in the annual Campus Security Report. This report helps to provide the community with a clear picture of the extent and nature of campus crime and to ensure greater community safety. Mandated federal reporters include: Office of Community Living staff members including Assistant Directors and Resident Assistants, Division of Student Life staff members, Marietta College Police, local police, coaches, athletic directors, human resources staff, advisors to student organizations, and any other official with significant responsibility for individual and campus safety. The information to be shared includes the date, the location of the incident (using Clery location category) and the Clery crime category. This reporting protects the identity of the survivor and may be done anonymously.
Federal Timely Warning Reporting Obligations
Victims of sexual misconduct should also be aware that College administrators must issue immediate timely warnings for incidents reported to them that are confirmed to pose a substantial threat of bodily harm or danger to members of the campus community. The College will make every effort to ensure that a victim’s name and other identifying information is not disclosed, while still providing enough information for community members to make safety decisions in light of the danger.
