If you feel you have experienced, witnessed, or become aware of behavior or activity that may be sex discrimination under the College's Sex Discrimination Policy, you can get help from the College’s supportive resources and services, including guidance on resolution options. You do not have to get anyone else’s approval or validation to ask for help or file a report.

If you have questions about consent, visit the What Is Consent? page. If you would like to learn more about behaviors that fall under the College's Sex Discrimination Policy, visit the Sex Discrimination Policy PDF.

If you have experienced sex discrimination, you are not required to report. It is your choice.

If you have witnessed or become aware of sex discrimination, and you are NOT an employee of the College, you are not required to report. It is your choice.

If you are an employee of the College, you are a responsible employee, and you are required to report if you witness sex discrimination or if it is reported to you. Visit the Am I a Responsible Employee? page for more information. Please note there are limited exceptions for the College Chaplain and College medical and counseling practitioners, who, unless they believe there is a health or safety emergency, either for the reporter or a third party, can be contacted confidentially and will not report without permission.

A Sex Discrimination and Sex-Based Harassment Report is a notice to the College, which ensures that the incident or behavior will be addressed and documented by the College. Reporting sex discrimination is one way community members can seek help.

Resources and support, like medical care and transportation to receive medical care, counseling, and/or assistance in filing a police report with the Lower Merion Township police are additional ways that the College can support community members. College staff are available to help community members decide what steps they would like to take. You do not need to file a formal report in order to get support and resources.
