Texas Tech University

Confidentiality

When a student comes to you to report an incident you cannot guarantee confidentiality. There are only two locations on campus that can provide confidential services. A student may report confidentially to the TTU Student Health Services or TTU Student Counseling. All other employees are required to report all Clery incidents for Clery statistics and all VAWA (sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking) incidents. When a student comes to report, make sure they know of your obligation to report.

Consider a statement like:

“I want to make sure you understand that I may be required to share anything you tell me, including your name, with the Title IX Office and Clery Complaince. We don't have to involve law enforcement unless you choose to, but the University may have to follow up on this situation. The only people on campus who can guarantee confidentiality are the Medical Staff at Student Health Services and Counselors within Student Counseling.”
