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 DPSS Special Victims Unit is available to assist and provide options whether you choose to participate in a criminal process or not.

They can also assist you 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: All reports of sexual and gender-based misconduct made to U-M Police are also reported to the university’s Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX Office regardless of whether you choose to pursue criminal charges or not.
