Confidentiality
CARE is dedicated to maintaining the confidentiality of students who access our services, and is bound by law to protect that confidentiality. As a confidential resource, CARE staff are obligated to not disclose information about incidents of sexual misconduct to anyone, including law enforcement or the University. In addition, CARE records are strictly confidential nor is the use of CARE services indicated on the student's academic transcript. No one outside of CARE may receive information about a student's services with CARE without the student's written permission There are a few exceptions to confidentiality with CARE staff:- We are required by law to report suspected child abuse
- We will take action if you intend to harm yourself or another person
- We have a duty to warn if failure to disclose will likely result in clear, imminent harm of yourself or someone else

When a student reports sexual misconduct to any staff other than a confidential resource, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. CARE staff advocate within 花季视频 to prioritize survivor privacy in all university procedures.
