Understanding Your Reporting Options

The Center for Advocacy, Response and Education (CARE) can help you understand your reporting options and support you in making the decisions that are right for you.

Meeting with a CARE advocate does not require you to make a report. Advocates can explain your rights, discuss reporting options, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect if you choose to report to law enforcement or Kansas State University. Whether or not you decide to report is always your choice. If you choose to make a report, a CARE advocate can help you prepare, accompany you when possible, and provide support throughout the process. If you decide not to report, we are still here to support you.

You deserve clear information, compassionate support, and the opportunity to make informed decisions at your own pace. We encourage you to connect with a CARE advocate to learn more about your options and receive support that is centered on your needs.

Civil Rights and Title IX (CRIX)

To report any instance of sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, discrimination, retaliation or harassment that has occurred on university property or at a university sponsored event, contact the Civil Rights and Title IX Office at (785) 532-6220 or email their office at civilrights@ksu.edu.

Law Enforcement

If there is an immediate danger/threat, please call 911. If it's not an emergency and you’d like to find out more, report an incident to law enforcement, and/or potentially start a formal police investigation, you can start by calling the police department that has jurisdiction over where the incident occurred. Most departments have a non-emergency number.
