Everyone has a role in helping create a safe and respectful campus community. Bystander intervention can help prevent concerning situations from escalating, support those who may be at risk, and reinforce a campus culture where harmful behavior is recognized and addressed.

There are several ways to safely respond when you notice a concerning situation:

• Direct: Address the behavior or situation directly when it is safe to do so.
• Distract: Create a distraction that interrupts the situation or allows someone to leave.
• Delegate: Ask someone else for help, such as a friend, faculty or staff member, campus safety officer, or other appropriate resource.
• Delay: Check in with the person afterward, offer support, and help connect them with resources if needed.

The safest and most appropriate response will depend on the situation.

Your safety and the safety of others should always come first. You do not need to confront someone directly or put yourself in danger to intervene. If a situation feels unsafe, seek assistance from someone who can help or contact the appropriate emergency or campus resources.

The University ensures that Title IX coordinators, investigators, and decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process, receive training on the definition of sexual harassment, the scope of the University's education program or activity, how to conduct an investigation and grievance process including hearings, appeals, and informal resolution processes, as applicable, and how to serve impartially, including by avoiding prejudgment of the facts at issue, conflicts of interest, and bias.[1] Coordinator(s) should be knowledgeable about other applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and policies that overlap with Title IX.[2] Additionally, the University ensures that decision-makers receive training on any technology to be used at a live hearing and on issues of relevance of questions and evidence, including when questions and evidence about the complainant's sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior are not relevant.[3] Furthermore, the University ensures that investigators receive training on issues of relevance to create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence.[4]

The University uses training materials that do not rely on sex stereotypes to train coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process.[5] The University also uses materials that promote impartial investigations and adjudications of formal complaints of sexual harassment to train coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process.[6] (Campbellsville University Sexual Misconduct Policy, p. 20).
