Get Support
Midland University has confidential and non-confidential resources on-campus to provide ongoing support for anyone affected by sex discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct.
Sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct are grievous violations of an individual’s dignity and may cause serious physical, psychological, and/or social harms. If you have experienced any form of discrimination, harassment, or misconduct, including rape or other forms of sexual assault, Midland University is committed to supporting you both in the moment and in the aftermath. You can get support at any time – not only in the hours or days immediately following an incident, but weeks, months, or even years later. You can also get support whether or not you choose to report to the college, report to law enforcement, or initiate an investigation by filing a complaint with the college.
Ongoing support resources may also be helpful to people who have not experienced discrimination, harassment, or misconduct themselves, but who want to provide information and support to others who have.

All other college employees, including student employees in their work-related roles, are required to share with the Midland University Title IX Coordinator (Jodi Benjamin, 402-941-6102, benjamin@midlandu.edu) any information they receive concerning sex discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct, even if you ask them to keep the information confidential. After the college employee shares your disclosure with the Title IX Coordinator, the Coordinator will reach out to you via email with an offer to meet and discuss your available resources and options, including your ability to pursue an investigation through the College’s process. Whether you follow up with the Title IX Coordinator is up to you, and meeting with the Title IX Coordinator does not automatically initiate any next steps.
Know that regardless of who you disclose to, your information will be kept extremely private. If you do disclose to a Non-Confidential resource, that individual will only share your information with other college employees who have a “need to know.”
