Reporting Examples

Do I report that a UC Merced student told me she had been slapped across the face by her date at a party? Yes. 

Even if her date was not affiliated with UC Merced? Yes. 

Even if the party was off campus? Yes. 

Do I report that a student asked for interim measures (no contact orders, class/exam accommodation, etc.) due to domestic violence or stalking? Yes. 

Even if they do not want to file a complaint? Yes. 

Do I report that I overheard people in the quad discussing someone grabbing butts? Not required. 

Would that be different if the person was specifically telling me about the grabbing? Yes, then you would report if either the reporter or grabber is a UC Merced affiliate. 

Do I report that a UC Merced affiliate told me “something bad happened”? Not required unless you have specific reason to know it relates to gender or sexual violence.
