Reporting Sex-Based Misconduct

Call 911 if there is an immediate threat to health or safety.

How to Report

Individuals are encouraged to report allegations of sex-based misconduct in a timely manner. Assistance and support are available by completing the IECC Complaint Form (see link below), reaching out to IECC personnel directly, or contacting a Confidential Advisor. 

Non-confidential Reporting

To report an incident, or for questions or concerns you have related to sex-based misconduct or the process, contact IECC's Title IX Coordinator, Libby McVicker.  [<<<click on the link for contact info.]

OR

Students may wish to alternately report an incident or concern to a Responsible Employee.  Responsible Employees at IECC include the following personnel:

  • IECC Administration 
  • Supervisors and Managerial Staff
  • Faculty
  • Athletic Coaches 
  • Student Services and Student Affairs Staff including College & Career Specialists
  • Advisors (e.g., student club/organization advisors, academic advisors, career advisors, financial aid staff)

Information reported to a Responsible Employee WILL be reported to the Title IX Coordinator and there is no guarantee that it will be kept confidential. You should most definitely indicate your desire to maintain your confidentiality so that measures can be taken to honor your wish. All matters will be handled discreetly and information shared on a strict need-to-know basis. However, if you would like to report, but remain anonymous, you should reach out to a Confidential Advisor (below) rather than the Title IX Coordinator or a Responsible Employee.

What happens after the Title IX Coordinator receives a report?

  • Counseling and mental health support;
  • Extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments;
  • Leaves of absence;
  • Changes to academic, living, dining, transportation and/or working schedules or situations;
  • Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of campus;
  • Issuance and enforcement of mutual campus no contact orders; and
  • Enforcement of an order of protection or no contact order entered by a State civil or criminal court.
