ABOUT

There is a difference between Confidential Resources and Private Resources at MIT.

For Confidential Resources, the conversations are kept strictly confidential and, except in rare, extreme circumstances (including imminent risk of harm to self or others), nothing will be shared without your permission. 

For Private Resources, the offices are designated as "private” and will keep the conversation as confidential as possible, but information about incidents of sexual misconduct must be shared with the Institute Discrimination & Response Office so the Institute can take action if necessary for reasons of safety. However, the wishes of the person providing the information are given full consideration. 

You may speak with Confidential Resources about discrimination or discriminatory harassment and they do not have a duty to inform IDHR of what you have shared.

The links below are Confidential Resources Available at MIT. For more information, and a full list of both Confidential Resources and Private Resources, please refer to this page on the IDHR website.
