TITLE IX DEPUTY COORDINATORS


LAW ENFORCEMENT
The University encourages victims of all crimes, including sexual violence, to report such actions to the Sioux City police department at 911 in cases of emergency, or (712) 279-6960. The Campus Security Office will assist students in making such reports if they so choose.
Confidential Reporting
There are people on campus that victims or witnesses can talk to confidentially. You can call or approach any of the following professional staff confidentially and tell them what happened. They will listen and explain options, including, where deemed appropriate, the option of reporting a crime on a confidential basis. Information disclosed here cannot be shared with anyone unless the student consents. Talking to a “Confidential Support Contact” listed below does not constitute reporting the incident to the University:



NOTE: Personally identifiable information can be kept confidential, but general information (nature, date, time, and general location of incident) must be reported so the school can identify patterns or systemic problems related to campus sexual violence.
If in immediate danger, call 911.
