If You Choose Not to Report

If You Choose not to Report:

Appalachian and the Office of Title IX Compliance supports an individual's right to choose whether to report. If you or someone you know needs information and help to facilitate the reporting process, we are here to help. You may also consider seeking out legal guidance to help you better understand your options.

If you DO NOT want to report to Law Enforcement or to Appalachian, you may want to seek immediate medical attention. Injuries may not be obvious at first. If you do not want to report you can still request that an anonymous forensic exam be completed at Watauga Medical Center. Please feel encouraged to consult confidential support through OASIS for more assistance.
