CCA encourages all members of the CCA community who believe they have been victims of sexual misconduct to report these incidents to local law enforcement authorities and to seek medical attention as needed.

If you are a student who believes that you or another student has experienced an incident of possible sexual misconduct at the “hands” of another student, faculty member, administrator, or in any other situation that is detrimentally affecting your experience as a student, please let us know right away. Please report the incident, and/or refer to the Reporting Procedures Portal page for information on how to report incident(s) to the College.

As to faculty and employees of CCA who may have experienced sexual misconduct, or who may wish to report an incident of possible sexual misconduct against another person, prompt reporting is also very important. Please consult your faculty or employee handbooks for the relevant reporting policies and procedures that apply; and also contact the Title IX Coordinator and/or the Human Resources office for assistance. See below for their contact information.

Confidential Employees

To enable Complainants to access support and resources without filing a Complaint, CCA has designated specific employees as Confidential Resources. Those designated by CCA as Confidential Resources are not required to report allegations of sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, or retaliation. They will, however, explain their role as a Confidential Employee and provide the Complainant with the Title IX Coordinator’s contact information and offer options and resources without any obligation to inform an outside agency or CCA official.

At CCA, there are two categories of Confidential Employees: 1) Those with confidentiality bestowed by law or professional ethics, such as medical professionals, clergy, and counselors; and 2) Those whom the College has specifically designated as confidential for purposes of providing support and resources to the Complainant. For those in category 1), above, to be able to respect confidentiality, they must be in a confidential relationship with the person reporting, such that they are within the scope of their licensure, professional ethics, or confidential role at the time of receiving the Notice. These individuals will maintain confidentiality except in cases where state and other authorities require reporting, such as danger or abuse of a minor.

If a Complainant would like the details of an incident to be kept confidential, the Complainant may speak with the following Confidential Employees:

Confidential Employees

• On-campus licensed professional counselors and staff
• Clergy

Designated Confidential Employees

• On-campus Victim Advocates
• CCA Counselors

Institutional counselors and/or the Employee Assistance Program are available to help free of charge and may be consulted on an emergency basis during normal business hours.

Employees who have confidentiality as described above, and who receive Notice within the scope of their confidential roles will timely submit anonymous statistical information for Clery Act purposes unless they believe it would be harmful to their client, patient, or parishioner.

In addition, Complainants may speak with individuals unaffiliated with CCA without concern that Policy will require them to disclose information to the institution without permission:

• Licensed professional counselors and other medical providers
• Local rape crisis counselors
• Domestic violence resources
• Local or state assistance agencies
• Clergy/Chaplains
• Attorneys
