How Can I Make a Report?
An individual who has experienced an incident of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment may make a report in any of the following way:
- Contact Director of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights/Title IX Coordinator by emailing oecr@arcadia.edu.
- Contact Director of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights/Title IX Coordinator by calling 215-517-2659.
- Submit a report of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, or any other kind of discrimination or harassment using this Reporting Form.
- Submit a report via the Campus Conduct Reporting Hotline. The Campus Conduct Hotline is always available to report any unethical or inappropriate situations, and is intended to maintain the anonymity of the reporting party. Please note that the University may be limited in its ability to investigate or respond to anonymous reports that do not contain sufficient information.
An individual who has experienced an incident of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment may decide whether or not to report and how to navigate any process, and has a voice at each step to say when and how to proceed. For example, a Complainant does not have to decide whether to pursue formal resolution methods or to provide the name(s) of the other party(ies) involved when making a report. Reporting does not mean a Complainant wishes to pursue disciplinary action or is required to participate in any process. The University will make every effort to support a Complainant’s wishes and will do so with the limited exceptions when the University must take action to protect the safety of the community.
What Does Reporting Mean?
Reporting means to provide Arcadia with information about an incident of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment. Upon receiving a report, the Title IX Team will act reasonably, appropriately and fairly, providing a prompt and equitable response in order to support the individuals involved and to protect the University community. For individuals who have experienced sexual misconduct or sexual harassment, the decision whether or not to report can be difficult. There are confidential support resources on campus and in the community available to individuals who are not yet ready to make a report to the University.
Why Report?
Reporting an issue allows Arcadia to provide individuals with resources, support, and accommodations available at the University. Reporting can help individuals, but it also can help prevent the recurrence of any future sexual misconduct or sexual harassment. Reporting also allows the University to assess for patterns of behavior and systemic issues, and address immediate threats to the safety of the community.
Where Can I Bring a Report?
Arcadia University recognizes that an individual may make a report with someone they feel most comfortable. Arcadia provides several designated reporting spaces for community members to bring concerns and reports of alleged sexual misconduct or sexual harassment.
