On-Campus Student Support

If you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1. 

Harassment and discrimination cover a wide range of conduct. Some of the allegations under this policy might be just as severe as conduct that could qualify for Title IX protections, but because the allegations refer to off campus conduct, the parties do not qualify for the options available under Title IX. You are entitled to support even if your experience does not fall under the narrow range of conduct covered by Title IX.

Purdue offers both confidential and non-confidential options for support. Confidential sources are prohibited from breaking confidentiality unless there is an imminent threat of harm to self or others, or the conduct involves suspected abuse of a minor under the age of 18. Non-confidential resources are campus offices that may be required to report or respond to certain allegations that threaten the safety of the campus community. These resources will still take all appropriate steps to respect the privacy of all parties involved.
