Campus mental-health counselors, pastoral counselors, social workers, psychologists, student health services employees, or any other person with a professional license requiring confidentiality [and functioning in a role related to such licensing], or who is supervised by such a person, are not required to report incidents of sexual violence to the school, without the student’s consent, in a way that identifies the student. This exemption is intended to ensure that these individuals can provide appropriate counseling services without an obligation to report crimes they may learn about after information has been disclosed.
Confidential employees should inform students of their right to file a report with the Title IX Coordinator and/or campus and local law enforcement. To the extent possible within their role, Confidential Employees will assist members of the campus community to connect with other available on-campus or community resources.
In addition to the confidential employees on campus, the College has partnered with Magellan to provide comprehensive services for its Employee Assistance Program. Employees are encouraged to call 1-800-523-5668 or 1-800-882-7610 (TTY) to contact a confidential EAP counselor.

Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College and Morehouse School of Medicine collectively form the Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC). Spelman College students and employees, when studying at, visiting or attending a college-related event of another AUCC institution, using the Woodruff Library or its shuttle, will be subject to Spelman College policies as well as the policies of the other campus institution or library.
When the Complainant is a member of the Spelman community, a (Spelman controlled) Resolution process may be available regardless of the status of the Respondent, who may or may not be a member of the Spelman community. The College may, in its discretion, dismiss a formal complaint if the Respondent is not subject to disciplinary control, or otherwise sanctionable, by the College. For example, the College may be limited in its ability to sanction an individual who is not a student, employee of the College, or otherwise desires ongoing access to the college’s environment. In these instances, the disciplinary action is limited to restricting individuals from campus.
Each campus within the Atlanta University Center has designated a Title IX Coordinator, who is responsible for that institution’s compliance with Title IX. The name and contact information for the other AUCC Title IX Coordinators and websites, where available, are listed below.
