Student Advocacy and Trauma Support

Reporting Options

It is common to have questions about the reporting process. The SATS Coordinator can discuss reporting options and what to expect in each process. SATS believes that the decision to report should be the choice of the student, and SATS will support the student in whatever choice they decide is best for them.  Below is some basic information on reporting at each level: to the SATS coordinator, to the Dean of Students or Human Resources, or to Law Enforcement (Winthrop University Police Department).  Also, read about your option to Report Online.

    If you report to the SATS Program Coordinator in person, she can assist you in completing the report form, anonymously if preferred.  Your report can be anonymous, and you can still receive services of the SATS.

    • The form will be routed to the SATS Program Coordinator, the Director for the Center for Student Wellness, the Title IX Coordinator, the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, and the Vice President for Student Life.
    • Itali Jackson, the SATS Program Coordinator will follow up on all online reports (unless it's anonymous).
    • Reporting here does NOT equal pressing charges through law enforcement.
