Resources
Babson offers a variety of resources to students who are involved in sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. Resources are available to both victims/survivors and those accused of sexual misconduct, as well as anyone else affected by sexual misconduct such as the friends of a victim/survivor.
On-Campus Resources
Due to the sensitive nature of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct not all resources are confidential. Before reaching out to a resource be sure to understand whether or not that resource is a confidential resource. A full list of both confidential and non-confidential resources is available on the Reporting Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct page.
