File a Complaint

If you are a victim of sexual violence, consider filing a complaint with UNMC. You can also consider reporting the incident to your local police department. You may do so any time after you experienced sexual violence. The police have investigators who are trained to handle sexual violence cases in a sensitive manner. 

All individuals are expected to promptly report conduct that may violate the university’s sexual misconduct policy to the university. Although the university does not limit the time frame for reporting sexual misconduct, to promote timely and effective review the university strongly encourages individuals to report possible sexual misconduct within 180 calendar days of the last occurrence of the concerning conduct. 

In addition, all individuals are expected to report conduct that may also violate criminal law to both the Title IX coordinator and to local law enforcement. These processes are not mutually exclusive and both may happen simultaneously or at different times.
