Reporting Incidents

If you are a victim of discrimination, harassment, or sexual violence, or know of a victim who is a student, you are encouraged to report the incident as soon as possible. Reports should be made to the Dean of Student Development or to the EICC Title IX Coordinator (Brooke Sweeney-Adrian at 563-336-3322). All complaints will be investigated promptly, impartially, and confidentially. When the investigation is completed, those involved with the complaint will be notified of the finding in writing. Students always have the option to contact the proper law enforcement authorities, and college personnel will assist if requested. No student will suffer retaliation from reporting alleged instances of sexual harassment or sexual violence.

How Can You Help Yourself?

Be aware of behaviors around you. If you feel uncomfortable or believe you are at risk, ask for help.
Say "No" – if the conduct or behaviors are unwanted, tell the person. Tell them to stop.
The presence of alcohol and drugs increases the incidences of assault exponentially.
Place yourself in situations where you are in control of your decision making.
Report the incident.
