Not sure where to start?\u00a0 Consider speaking with one of the following resources:<\/span><\/p>\n

Confidential Advising<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have experienced an incident of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct,\u00a0 you may wish to consult first with Sarah Stanley, the law school\u2019s <\/span>Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Liaison <\/span>(SARVL).\u00a0 Sarah is a confidential counseling resource who can help students connect with a range of <\/span>supportive academic, residential, counseling and extracurricular resources<\/span><\/a>, discuss options for filing conduct code and\/or law enforcement complaints, and support them through the process if they decide to file a complaint.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speak with a Title IX Coordinator<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In addition to the fully confidential SARVL resource, students are welcome and encouraged to contact Lisa Curtis, the Law Center\u2019s Deputy Title Coordinator, or Samantha Berner, the University\u2019s Title IX Coordinator, to make reports of and\/or seek supportive resources<\/a> from the university following incidents of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Title IX coordinators work with individuals who experience sexual misconduct to help identify and coordinate supportive resources and explain the University\u2019s policies and complaint processes. Supportive measures are available to individuals experiencing any type of sexual misconduct regardless of whether or not they decide to file a formal complaint.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note the Deputy Title IX Coordinator will keep information private to the extent possible, but they are not a fully confidential resource.\u00a0 Those who wish to keep information strictly confidential should contact the Law Center\u2019s SARVL, who is a fully confidential resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/b>Students don\u2019t have to choose between meeting with the SARVL or the Deputy Title IX Coordinator. Speaking with the fully confidential SARVL does not prevent you from also consulting with the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, or pursuing the Law Center\u2019s internal disciplinary process or any external criminal processes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandatory Reporters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you disclose an incident of sexual misconduct to a Georgetown employee (faculty or staff) who is not a fully confidential resource (eg, the SARVL, or a CAPS counselor), those staff will share information about your report with the Law Center\u2019s Deputy Title IX Coordinator, Lisa Curtis, consistent with the requirements of Title IX and university policy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Deputy, Ms. Curtis is charged with responding to incidents and reports of sexual harassment or misconduct, and ensuring student and community safety. When she receives a report, she typically will email you to help identify and connect with a range of supportive resources, and discuss options for navigating any disciplinary or criminal processes. You are not obligated to respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
