Confidentiality
Manhattanville College will make every effort to maintain the identities of students who seek help and/or report sex discrimination to the extent possible within the investigation. While steps are taken to protect the privacy of all involved and information relating to the complaint or investigation will only be disclosed to College officials on a “need to know” basis, the College may need to take steps to investigate an incident and take action, whether or not the student chooses to pursue a complaint.
A student’s request for confidentiality or that his/her name not be revealed may limit the College’s ability to investigate the allegations. Due to this consideration, the College may not be able to maintain confidentiality, even at the request of the student; the Title IX Coordinator will notify the student(s) if confidentiality cannot be maintained.
All parties involved are expected to maintain the confidentiality of the process. Failure by any individual to maintain confidentiality is a breach of this policy and may lead to disciplinary action.
