Reporting Options & Resources

Reporting to the Title IX Team

Individuals are encouraged to report concerns by email to: titleix@cbu.edu.

A team member will respond during business hours. Our Team strives to treat every individual with dignity, equity, and kindness. 

Team members are trained to listen, take reports, and guide individuals to appropriate on and off campus resources. Impacted individuals will receive information about resources, support, reporting options to the University and/or law enforcement, the disciplinary process, and supportive measures. The majority of CBU employees are considered private resources meaning they will only share information on a need-to-know basis.

Resources and Support ​

The University provides information on how to obtain counseling, spiritual, or medical assistance on or off campus.

The University will provide appropriate protective or academic measures to preserve and restore access to individual’s living, working, and learning environment. ​ 

Reporting Confidentially

Individuals reporting discrimination based on sex or gender-based harassment may remain completely anonymous if they report incidents through a professionally licensed counselor. 

The University’s response to anonymous reports is limited or impossible.
