Frequently asked questions
What do I do if I have been sexually assaulted?
If you have been sexually assaulted:
- Get to a safe place, talk to someone you trust, and get medical attention.
- Ask for help from Public Safety (215-641-6666) or the Interim Title IX Coordinator
(mmorehead-e@mc3.edu or titleixcoordinator@mc3.edu).
Either Public Safety or the Title IX Coordinator will help you understand your options for reporting the assault to the College, the Police, or both; for counseling; and medical attention. - Don't blame yourself, be kind to yourself, and take advantage of counseling resources, both on and off-campus.
I need help, but want my situation to remain confidential.
- The College will assist you in finding medical providers, and licensed professional counselors, or you can call Victim Services directly at 1-888-521-0983.
- While the College is limited in assisting you without full and accurate information about the assault, the College will still assist you with all the necessary protections, including escorts and schedule adjustments, with which to keep you safe.
- The College has a continuing obligation to your safety, and an obligation to protect the rest of the campus community from similar incidents of assault. This means that at all times, the College has to carefully weigh your request for confidentiality against your safety, and the community's interest in its safety.
- Because of this ongoing duty to you and others on campus, the College is also sometimes obligated to issue a timely warning to the campus community, while doing everything possible to protect your identity and your privacy.
I want to file a report
- Contact the Interim Title IX Coordinator, or the Director of Public Safety, who will guide you in the process of filing a formal complaint with either, or both.
- When a complaint is lodged with the College, the College will conduct a fair and impartial investigation into the incident with trained investigators.
- If the investigation leads to a hearing, you will be advised of your rights before, during and after the hearing, and will be informed about its outcome. The College is obligated, and committed, to conducting the investigation into your complaint and to resolving the complaint promptly (within 60 days) and equitably (with due process rights for both yourself, and for the person who stands accused of hurting you).
- Whether or not you file a criminal complaint with the police, the College will still handle your complaint on its own and using its own process. It will investigate the complaint, review the evidence of your complaint and provide you with all the support you may need during, and after this process is completed.
How can I help a friend who has experienced sexual misconduct?
