Mandated Reporting of Sexual Assault by key personnel“with significant responsibility for student life”
Why Mandated Reporting?
In addition to complying with the law, there are other significant benefits of the anonymous notification system.
When an assault occurs, we want survivors and those they tell about their assault to know that there are 24-hr services available to them.
UNCW wants to insure that students receive accurate and timely information about the resources on-and off-campus for assault survivors.
UNCW needs a clearer picture of sexual assault occurrences, both on-campus and in our wider community.
