Appendix 6
Appendix 6: Confidential Resources Medical Assistance:
All individuals who experience prohibited conduct are welcome to seek immediate medical treatment and preserve physical evidence even if they have not decided whether they wish to pursue any campus or law enforcement action. This will help to ensure that a Complainant receives proper care, preserve any available evidence, and enhance their opportunity to pursue a disciplinary or criminal action at a later time. Local hospitals have trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners who can conduct a forensic examination. The University of South Carolina Aiken’s Police Department can also assist in preserving other forms of evidence and/or providing referrals or transportation to community resources.
In addition, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and pregnancy are available by appointment at the Student Health Center at 803-641-2841.
Campus Confidential Resources:
A Complainant can seek assistance and support from these individuals without triggering a university report that could reveal the Complainant's identity or that the Complainant has disclosed the incident. While maintaining a Complainant's confidentiality, some university resources will share de-identified data, for Clery reporting. This limited report — which includes no information that would directly or indirectly identify the Complainant — helps keep the university informed of the general extent and nature of prohibited conduct on and off campus so as to track patterns, evaluate the scope of the problem, and formulate appropriate campus-wide responses.
