Report Sex-Based Misconduct

If you were recently sexually assaulted and the incident occurred on campus, call Public Safety at 646-660-6000 or dial 911. If the incident occurred off campus, call 911 or go to the local NYPD precinct.  Contacting the police does not require you to file charges.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Campus Public Safety or the police can help you get medical care or you can go on your own (or with a friend) to an emergency room. For a list of New York City emergency rooms see http://www.svfreenyc.org.

Preserve evidence. You do not need to decide immediately whether to take action against the person who assaulted you. However, in case you might want to do this, it is important to preserve evidence of the assault. Go to an emergency room and ask for a SAFE or rape exam. Do not bathe or brush your teeth prior to going to the emergency room. Retain the clothing you were wearing in a paper (not plastic) bag. If the assault took place in your home or dorm room, do not rearrange furniture and/or clean up.

You are not alone and we are here to help. The Title IX office provides resources to anyone affected by sex-based misconduct, as well as other supportive measures.
