Employees can also report concerns or ask questions of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, who is also the College Title IX Liaison and will contact OCRSM. These notifications can be made by submitting a ticket via the Academic Programs portal at http://tinyurl.com/iSchoolAcademicProgramsPortal . Please note that federal law requires that all University employees learning of a sexual assault must notify the Title IX liaison or OCRSM directly, with or without the victim’s consent. A good employee practice is to warn students seeking counsel that they cannot legally serve as a confidential resource. Good practice may also involve connecting the victim to the Campus Advocates Respond and Educate to Stop Violence (CARE) program, at https://health.umd.edu/CARE , who legally can serve as a confidential resource and informant.
