Find Help On Campus

Law Enforcement

Certain forms of prohibited conduct covered by the Policy would also be a violation of criminal law. An individual has the option of filing a criminal complaint, and may do so with the Campus Police Department, which is located in Admin Annex #115 and can be reached by telephone at (724) 830-4999 or extension x4999 from a campus phone. Campus Police are obligated to report incidents of prohibited conduct to the Title IX and Civil Rights Coordinator. 

The Campus Police Department is staffed seven days per week, 24 hours per day. After business hours (5:00 pm - 8:00 am), the Resident Director on duty can be contacted at (724) 433-3942 and may be able to accompany you for support in reporting to law enforcement, or in seeking medical attention, after business hours, even if you are not a resident in University housing. A criminal complaint may also be lodged with the Greensburg City Police Department, who can be reached at (724) 834-3800. You can also contact the PA State Police at (724) 832-3288. Always call 911 in the case of an emergency.

Reporting to the Title IX and Civil Rights Coordinator does not obligate the individual to report to the police, nor does reporting to the police obligate someone to file a complaint under the Policy – these are separate processes. University and criminal processes can occur simultaneously or independently. If an individual would like to notify law enforcement, the Title IX and Civil Rights Coordinator (or designee) can assist with that notification. The University encourages those who have experienced discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual misconduct (including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking) to report those matters to the police.

On-Campus Confidential Resources

Confidential communications are those exchanged with individuals belonging to certain professions (such as healthcare providers, professional counselors, or pastoral counselors) which require maintaining the confidentiality of communications disclosed to the individual in the context of providing professional services. Such individuals cannot disclose the content of those communications, or records of same, to any third party without the disclosing individual’s prior written consent, or if permitted or required by law or relevant professional ethical obligations (such as “duty to warn”). These communications are privileged under Federal or State law.
