Confidentialilty

Used in the context of Title IX means that the Confidential Resources listed to the left do not need to report to the Title IX Coordinator or any one within the Academy's administration. However, the following exceptions maybe considered:

  • If a person presents an imminent threat of harm to themselves or others.
  • If a person would like to request certain protective supportive measures in the aftermath of a reported sexual violence, the Title IX Coordinator, may be contacts only for the purpose of implementing the interim measures.  

Reporting an incident to confidential resources, does not launch an investigation and is used for a victim to seek physical, emotional, spiritual, and medical support to help them through a traumatic experience. Reporting an incident to a non-confidential resource helps to prevent future offenses within the MMA community and launches an impartial, administrative, investigation that may result in disciplinary action. A victim also always has the right to make no report at all. 

Title IX Formal Complaint Flow Chart

Confidential Resources

  • Health Services
  • Counseling Center
  • Clergy 
  • Off Campus Hospitals/Rape Crisis Centers

Private, Non Confidential Resources

  • Public Safety
  • Title IX Coordinator
  • Company Officers
  • Faculty/Staff
  • Deans/Vice Presidents

It is always within the victims rights to make no report at all. 

However, the Academy strongly encourages victims to seek medical attention, counseling, and support. A complaint can always be filed with the Academy at a later date, however, a delay in reporting could weaken the evidence necessary to determine whether the accused is found responsible.
