Faculty and staff play a key role in the moments following a disclosure and are crucial to connecting someone to University resources.

What to do When Someone Discloses Sexual Misconduct:

Remember the three C's: Care, Connect, Contact

Step 1: Care for the Person

• Ensure they are safe
• Provide non-judgmental support
  

Step 2: Connect the Person With Resources

• Sexual Assault Resource Coordinator (SARC) team member
• Reporting Options
  
• Counseling and Support
  

Step 3: Contact the Title IX Coordinator

You must report the incident

Ryan Rost, Title IX Coordinator
Phone: 610-519-8805
Email: ryan.rost@villanova.edu

Shannon Barnett, Title IX Case Manager
Phone: 610-519-8804

Next Steps

All instances of sexual misconduct (except those reported to a counselor/therapist and/or a priest in their pastoral capacity) must be reported to the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator in a timely manner.

This report should include the following information (if shared):

• name of the alleged respondent (if known)
  
• the student who experienced the alleged sexual violence
  
• other students involved in the alleged sexual violence
• relevant facts, including the date, time and location
  

The Title IX Coordinator will ensure:

• support, resources and options are offered to the involved student(s)
• the University responds in an integrated, consistent manner
  
• that every effort is made on behalf of the University to honor the wishes of the reporting student(s)
  

The Title IX Coordinator also keeps track of this information so that she can evaluate the scope of the problem, whether there are any patterns or trends, and oversee the design and implementation of appropriate campus-wide responses.
