Some forms of sexual or gender-based misconduct, such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking are crimes. You have the right to file a police report and have your case investigated. The Department of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) Special Victims Unit is available to assist and provide options whether the choice to participate in a criminal process is made or not. The U-M Police Department is committed to providing a trauma-informed response, and their officers are specially trained to work with individuals who make reports of interpersonal violence. They can assist with the following:
- Filing a police report
- Seeking medical attention
- Seeking support, advocacy and counseling services
- Discussing legal options, including seeking personal protection orders from a court
- Accommodations for housing, academics, transportation and work
Please note: Regardless of whether an individual chooses to pursue criminal charges, all reports made to the U-M DPSS which indicate possible sexual and gender-based misconduct are also reported to the university’s ECRT office.
