Most staff members of the college community (Barnard, Columbia, and Teacher's College) are considered mandated reporters. Mandated reporters will respect the privacy of the person who has disclosed to them but they cannot provide confidentiality as they are required to report internally to the Title IX office. However, it is important to remember that a report is not an investigation - it is merely a way to connect you to important resources and support via Title IX. Where you choose to go from there is up to you! 

If a person does not work in one of the offices listed in the "Confidential Resources" section, please assume that they are a mandated reporter. This includes Deans, Residence Life Staff (including RAs), Administrators, Community Safety, Faculty, OLs, and TAs.
