Title IX | Enough is Enough | Non-Discrimination Resources

Nondiscrimination
July 07, 2015- New York City- Governor Andrew Cuomo is joined by House of Representatives Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi as the Governor signs “Enough is Enough” Legislation to combat sexual assault on college and university campuses into law.

Trocaire College is dedicated in creating and maintaining a working and learning environment which is free of discrimination and intimidation. All complaints of discrimination and harassment will be thoroughly investigated to determine whether the totality of the alleged behavior and circumstances may constitute harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, sexual assault or sexual violence or a form of misconduct.

Trocaire College is fully committed to ensuring that its Campus is a place where students and employees are able to feel secure in their physical safety and their emotional well-being.  Any act involving sexual harassment, violence, coercion, and intimidation will not be tolerated on or off campus between students. Specifically, Trocaire strictly prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault (rape), and stalking.

It is the policy of Trocaire that, upon learning that an act of sexual misconduct has taken place, immediate action will be taken to address the situation. This includes working with state and local law enforcement to bring possible criminal charges and seeking disciplinary action through the College. Trocaire is committed to providing options, support and assistance to students who report incidents of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and or stalking. For further information, please contact:

Tracy Rozewicz

 

Civil Rights Compliance Officer/ Title IX Coordinator

Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence & Stalking

Resources to Help
Trocaire is committed to protecting the confidentiality of victims/survivors, and will work closely with students who wish to obtain private/confidential assistance regarding an incident of sexual misconduct. Certain professionals at the College are permitted by law to offer confidentiality, and those who do not maintain that privilege are expected to keep reports private to the extent permitted under the law and College policy. This means that they may have to report to College officials, but will not broadcast the information beyond what is required by law and policy. All allegations will be investigated promptly and thoroughly, and both the victim/survivor and the Accused Student will be afforded equitable rights during the investigative process.

Confidential Resources
Individuals who are confidential resources will not report crimes to law enforcement or college officials without your permission, except for extreme circumstances, such as a health and/or safety emergency.


Student Services | Counseling Services

Trocaire College offers individual counseling appointments to all students free of charge. For many, the college years mark an important time of personal growth and change. Individual counseling can help you improve your ability to manage life stressors in more healthy ways to work towards reaching your full potential. It is the goal of counseling services to help students towards achieving personal, social, and academic success.


Confidential Resources Within the Community
Off-campus options to disclose sexual violence confidentially include (note that these outside options do not provide any information to the campus):

  • Crisis Services: http://crisisservices.org
  • New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault: http://nyscasa.org
  • Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence: http://www.opdv.ny.gov/help/index.html
  • Legal Momentum: https://www.legalmomentum.org
  • New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence: http://www.nyscadv.org/
  • Pandora’s Project: http://www.pandys.org/lgbtsurvivors.html
  • GLBTQ Domestic Violence Project: http://www.glbtqdvp.org
  • RAINN: https://www.rainn.org/get-help
  • Safe Horizons: http://www.safehorizon.org

Note that these hotlines are for crisis intervention, resources, and referrals, and are not reporting mechanisms, meaning that disclosure on a call to a hotline does not provide any information to the campus. Reporting Individuals are encouraged to additionally contact a campus confidential or private resource so that the campus can take appropriate action in these cases.


How to Report a Violation

Non-Confidential Resources
The following college officials can offer privacy and can provide information about remedies, accommodations, evidence preservation, and how to obtain resources. These officials will also provide the information contained in the Students’ Bill of Rights, including the right to choose when and where to report, to be protected by the institution from retaliation, and to receive assistance and resources from the institution.

These college officials will disclose that they are private and not confidential resources and they may still be required by law and college policy to inform one or more college officials about the incident, including but not limited to the Title IX Coordinator. They will notify Reporting Individuals that the criminal justice process uses different standards of proof and evidence than internal procedures, and questions about the penal law or the criminal process should be directed to law enforcement or district attorney:

  • Civil Rights Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator, 360 Choate Ave., Room 321 (716) 827-2461

  • To file a criminal complaint with local law enforcement and/or state police:
  • City of Buffalo Police Department Headquarters
    (716) 851-4444, 74 Franklin Street Buffalo, NY 14202
