(or other personal items), which can assist law enforcement if they decide to report the crime. Reporting to police is not mandatory, however, and should never prevent someone from seeking medical care. It is best to avoid showering, bathing, douching, or brushing teeth until after medical attention has been provided. Avoid changing clothes or save all clothing from the time of the assault in a paper bag or cardboard box. Evidence collection is strongest within the first 4 days following an assault. Evidence of drug facilitated sexual assault (such as the use of Rohypnol, GHB, or other drugs) is best tested for as soon as possible as it can pass out of the body in a short time. You should save text and direct messages, social networking pages, and other communications as evidence; and keep pictures, logs, or copies of documents if there are any that could be useful to University professionals or law enforcement investigating the violation. Supportive Measures The University provides all students and employees who report domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking —whether on or off campus—with written information on available supportive measures. These non-disciplinary, non-punitive services are offered at no cost to both the Complainant and Respondent, regardless of whether a Formal Complaint is filed, or law enforcement is involved. Supportive measures aim to ensure equal access to University programs while protecting safety and preventing harassment. They may include counseling, health services, academic accommodations, financial aid adjustments, schedule modifications, campus escorts, no-contact orders, housing or work changes, leaves of absence, security enhancements, visa and immigration support, legal assistance, and other necessary services. The University maintains confidentiality of these accommodations unless disclosure is necessary to implement them. While crime statistics are included in the Annual Security Report in compliance with the Clery Act, personally identifying information is excluded. Filing a Complaint Anyone aware of an incident covered by this policy is encouraged to report it promptly to the Title IX Coordinator(s) or Campus Police. Reports can be made in person, by mail, phone, email, or any method ensuring the Title IX Coordinator(s) receives the information. Anonymous Reporting Anonymous reports or requests for resources may be made through the University’s EthicsPoint Compliance Hotline at 855-277-4065 or online through: https://secure.ethicspoint.com/ domain/media/en/gui/31028/index.html. EthicsPoint allows the University to request information from a reporter and provide updates to the reporter on an anonymous basis. Reports made via EthicsPoint will be forwarded to the Title IX Coordinator. EthicsPoint is not an emergency service. For emergency service, reporters should call Stevens’ Campus Police or local law enforcement authorities. 62 — 2025 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
