If you wish, the Title IX Coordinator and Title IX Deputy Coordinators can help you contact these law enforcement agencies. Reporting the incident does not mean that the survivor must proceed with prosecution. Survivors may also use a pseudonym to protect their identity.

Victims of sexual assault are not required to file criminal charges or seek judicial actions through UTRGV’s disciplinary process. Survivors are encouraged to report.

If you have protective or restraining orders relevant to a UTRGV report of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct, we encourage you to provide a copy to University Police.
