If you are having personal issues consider contacting Counseling and Student Development Center at www.umassd.edu/counseling

The purpose of a university is to disseminate information, as well as to explore a universe of
ideas, to encourage diverse perspectives and robust expression, and to foster the development of critical and analytical thinking skills. In many classes, including this one, students and faculty
examine and analyze challenging and controversial topics. If a topic covered in this class triggers post-traumatic stress or other emotional distress, please discuss the matter with the professor or seek out confidential resources available from the Counseling Center, www.umassd.edu/counseling, 508-999-8648 or – 8650, or the Victim
Advocate in the Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality,
http://www.umassd.edu/sexualviolence/, 508-910-4584. In an emergency contact the
Department of Public Safety at 508-999-9191 24 hrs./day.


UMass Dartmouth, following national guidance from the Office of Civil Rights, requires that
faculty follow UMass Dartmouth policy as a “mandated reporter” of any disclosure of sexual
harassment, abuse, and/or violence shared with the faculty member in person and/or via email.
These disclosures include but are not limited to reports of sexual assault, relational abuse,
relational/domestic violence, and stalking. While faculty are often able to help students locate
appropriate channels of assistance on campus, disclosure by the student to the faculty member
requires that the faculty member inform the University’s Title IX Coordinator in the Office of
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at 508-999-8008 to help ensure that the student’s safety and
welfare is being addressed, even if the student requests that the disclosure not be shared.
