Confidential Resources
Conversations with these Confidential Resources will not trigger a report to the Title IX Coordinator or otherwise be shared unless given permission to do so. The only exceptions are when there is clear and imminent danger that someone’s life is at risk, there is apparent or suspected abuse of a child or dependent adult, or there is a legal obligation to reveal such information under an enforceable court order.

Mandated Reporters
All University faculty (including adjunct faculty) and employees (including student-employees), other than those designated as Confidential Resources, are Mandated Reporters and are expected to promptly report all known details of actual or suspected Prohibited Conduct (date, time, location, names of parties involved, description of the incident, etc.) to the Title IX Coordinator.
Mandated Reporters are also non-confidential, which means they will safeguard a UMBC community member’s privacy, however they are required to immediately disclose the information to the Title IX Coordinator and other need-to-know University officials. Mandated Reporters will try to ensure that any UMBC community member making a disclosure to a Mandated Reporter, understands the Mandated Reporter’s reporting/referral obligations.
