B. Non-Confidential Olin Reporting Options and Resources
To report a violation, file a formal complaint, or seek information about the process under the Title IX Policy, please contact the Title IX Coordinator (See contact information in Section IV above).
Olin recognizes that an individual may feel most comfortable discussing incidents, situations, and/or allegations with Olin employees whom the individual knows well. It is important to note that the following Olin employees have been designated to receive reports of sexual misconduct and are obligated by law to disclose all reports and relevant information committed by or impacting any community member, that is shared with them, to the Title IX Coordinator concerning unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and marital or parental status, as well as incidents and allegations of sexual misconduct (including, but not limited to sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking), and/or retaliation. The Title IX Coordinator will then take the steps to provide the complainant (if known) with rights and resource information and implement any supportive measures.
MANDATORY REPORTERS ARE LISTED IN THE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT MANDATED REPORTERS APPENDIX
The College officials listed above must disclose all information they know related to a report of potential sexual harassment, including the names of the alleged victim and perpetrator (if known), any witnesses and any other relevant facts including, the date, time and specific location of the alleged incident.
To the extent possible, information reported to the above listed College officials will be shared only with the Title IX Coordinator and those who assist in the implementation of Olin’s Title IX Policy and procedures. If the incident is an emergency or poses a serious or continuing threat, the official should first call Babson/Olin Public Safety immediately. If the incident is not an emergency does not pose a serious or continuing threat the official should not share information with law enforcement without the alleged victim’s consent or unless the employee is otherwise required by law to do so.
Once the College official learns about an incident, allegation or receives a report, Olin is on actual notice of the alleged incident and the Title IX Coordinator will then take the steps to provide the complainant (if known) with rights and resource information and implement any supportive measures.
Whenever possible, the above listed College officials will disclose their duty to report incidents before someone reveals information about an incident. Olin encourages individuals to speak with the Title IX Coordinator or one of the officials listed above so that supportive measures may be provided and, if the complainant elects to file a formal complaint, that the incident can be looked into and properly resolved.
1. Steps to Preserve Evidence. Any person who has experience sexual violence is encouraged to take steps to preserve evidence of the incident, as doing so may be necessary to the proof of the crime or to obtain a protective order. Clothing and surroundings may contain valuable evidence. If possible, refrain from going to the bathroom unless one can save a urine sample in a clear container. Too, refrain from drinking, showering, brushing teeth, combing hair, changing clothing, and straighten up anything. It is natural to want to do these things, yet it is important that a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) or physician be able to examine an individual as they are from the incident. If an individual needs to change their clothes, each garment worn during the incident should be separated in a paper (not plastic) bag. If the incident involves any written or electronic communications (such as texts, pictures, videos, social media posts, phone calls), one should try and preserve copies and not delete original material.
