Confidential Resource(s)

Due to the size of Montserrat, in addition to one on-campus confidential resource,  we have also designated an off-campus resource as our ‘confidential resource’. A Confidential Resource (CR) is a designated to be available to both students and employees to:

  • Describe all aspect of reporting options
  • Provide information on counseling and crisis services, both on and off campus
  • Provide information on medical services, both on and off campus
  • Explain the available supportive measures for students
  • Explain the institutional disciplinary process
  • Provide information on the legal processes by local law enforcement
  • Must affirmatively notify the complainant of rights regarding protective and no-contact orders

Due to the nature of her position on campus, Elisabeth Reickert, LMHC, Director of the Counseling Center, is always a ‘confidential’ resource and can assist all students in connecting with necessary resources under any circumstances, including in the case of sexual misconduct.

Title IX Training

Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator, investigators, hearing officers, and appeal officers are required to participate in annual training. In addition, on-going training programs are offered on-campus, including at new student orientation. Due to the size of our college and community, once we determine a matter to fall under Title IX, we outsource investigations, hearings and resolutions.
