Learn About Reporting Options

Reports help to build a safer community.  You may report sexual misconduct to the University, the police, or both (recommended).

Reporting to the University

You can anonymously report at https://gardner-webb.edu/about/policies-and-information/title-xi-compliance/

Filing a report does not mean that formal  disciplinary action will be taken; it is up to you  to decide if and how to participate in the  University’s investigative process.

Title IX Office
(704) 406-2081

Reporting to the Police

Contacting the police is especially  important if you think you may want to  seek legal action against the perpetrator.  In the event of an emergency, call 911.

If a non-emergency, call (704) 406-4444.

Seek Supportive Measures

Supportive measures are administrative  actions that can help you feel safe on campus.

To inquire, contact the Title IX office  at (305) 284-8624. Examples include:

  • No contact orders
  • Facility access restrictions
  • Change in housing, class,  or employment arrangements to minimize interaction between individuals
