Other Sources of Support
There are many sources of support and information at the colleges, however, many individuals are “responsible employees.” Responsible employees are legally obligated to disclose what they learn about an incident of sexual assault, dating violence, stalking or sexual harassment to the Title IX Coordinator. On all the campuses, responsible employees include all dean of student staff, faculty, coaches, resident advisors, and senior administrative staff. If you are not sure if you want to pursue action, you may want to speak with a confidential support resource first. If you choose to speak with one of resources below, you have the option of limiting the details you share while you gather more information to help inform your decision. Making a report to a responsible employee does not mean that a grievance process will automatically move forward. Unless there is an ongoing threat to the reporting student or the Claremont Colleges community, a process will not move forward without the consent of the reporting student.

In general, the disclosure of private information contained in medical records is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In the context of sexual violence, however, medical providers in California, including medical providers at Student Health Services, are required to notify law enforcement if a patient tells medical personnel they have experienced sexual violence. The patient has the right to request that a survivor advocate be present with them when they speak with the police and to request that criminal charges not be pursued. Neither on- nor off-campus medical providers will notify the college of the report.
