Reporting, Resources, and Supportive Measures
Reporting Options
Title IX concerns should be made to the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinators. Reports can be made by phone, email, website online report form, or in person. Reports may also be made anonymously. However, employees who are responsible employees (mandatory reporters) and may not file a report anonymously. Reports will be forwarded to the appropriate office.
Victim/survivors have the right to report without further participation in any investigation. If a victim/survivor chooses to report, a university authority can assist. The university will make available interim measures, such as accommodations, regardless of whether the victim/survivor chooses to report to police or the university.

Retaliation for filing a report or participating in an investigation is not tolerated at UTA.
Confidentiality
The university will do its best to honor a party's request for confidentiality, however, confidentiality is not guaranteed. Most university employees are considered "responsible employees" meaning they are mandated to report Title IX allegations to the Title IX Coordinator. The University may need to act to maintain campus safety and must determine whether to investigate further, even if there is a request for confidentiality.
While a victim/survivor’s conversation will be kept private (will not be shared unnecessarily with others), only a conversation with a confidential resource can be kept confidential as long as the confidential employee is acting within their scope, and role, otherwise the confidential report must report like all employees.
Confidential resources are still require to report non-personal identifying information about the incident to the Title IX Coordinator.
Confidential resources include CAPS, CAPS Student Ambassadors, Health Services, and RVSP Advocates.
