The Survivor Advocate is considered a Campus Security Authority and adheres to the Clery Act for reporting crimes that occur on campus. As such, if a student shares any of the following information, it may need to be reported to the UNT Title IX Coordinator or to other authorities. Situations that may require additional reporting obligations include those where:

  • An involved party is affiliated with UNT (student, staff or faculty) and is violating Title IX (including sexual violence, intimate partner violence, harassment, or stalking), and the identity of that person is disclosed
  • An individual expresses thoughts of harm to self or others
  • There is suspected child abuse

In compliance with the Clery Act, the Dean of Students notifies the UNT Police Department of crimes reported to our office. The reports do not include the name of survivors or perpetrators, but the survivor can choose to be contacted by the police for further support and follow-up. The information we report includes:

  • The type of crime
  • The date
  • The time of the crime
  • Location of the crime (For example: on campus, in a residential building, a classroom building parking lot) Contact the Survivor Advocate through email at SurvivorAdvocate@unt.edu or by calling the Dean of Students Office at 940-565-2648.
