BU is committed to promptly investigating the circumstances of a complaint to determine what occurred, ensure complainant safety, and provide remedies. Learn more about BU’s Title IX policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Never promise students confidentiality with respect to incidents of possible sexual misconduct. While you can reassure students that you will treat their information with sensitivity and discretion, you are mandated to report the information they convey to you.<\/p>\n
