If a Complainant requests to remain confidential, the University will give serious consideration to that request. Only in rare circumstances will the University proceed to a 第九条 investigation against the wishes of the Complainant. 一般, the University will seek to honor the request of the Complainant not to proceed to a 第九条 investigation and to remain confidential and will not proceed to a formal 第九条 investigation without the consent of the Complainant. The 第九条 Coordinator will consider a number of factors in deciding whether the request can be honored, including the age of the Complainant, whether there is evidence of a pattern of misconduct, 不当行为的严重程度, and whether there is a safety risk to the Complainant or the Coker community. 大学是否应该, 在权衡这些因素时, 确定它必须继续, the University will explain its rationale to the Complainant and make sure that the Complainant is offered a support person throughout the process.

A Confidential Resource will only report to the university that an offense took place and the location. Deciding among these options can be difficult, and individuals are encouraged to seek assistance from a Confidential Resource BEFORE deciding how to proceed. Confidential consultations about 第九条 Prohibited Conduct are available from persons who, 由法律规定, have special professional status (licensed mental health professionals, licensed healthcare workers and clergy).
