The Maine College of Health Professions is committed to maintaining the privacy of all individuals involved in a report of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual violence, stalking, or intimate partner violence. Throughout the reporting, investigation and sanction process, every effort will be made to protect the privacy interests of all individuals involved in a manner consistent with the need for a thorough review of the report. Privacy and confidentiality have distinct meanings under this policy.
Privacy generally means that information related to a report of misconduct will only be shared with a limited group of individuals. The use of this information is limited to those college employees who “need to know” in order to assist in the active review, investigation or resolution of the report.
Confidentiality means that information shared by an individual with designated campus or community professionals cannot be revealed to any other individual without the express permission of the individual.
