Use this for reference whenever you need to know about supportive measures and resources that can be tapped for help when an incident of prohibited conduct occurs at Cornell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supportive Measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive, individualized services offered, as appropriate and reasonably available, without fee or charge, to the complainant or respondent before, during, or after the filing of a Formal Complaint, or where no Formal Complaint has been filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supportive measures may be issued based upon a party\u2019s request or at the University\u2019s initiative. The University will, at its discretion, determine whether any given supportive measure is reasonable and appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supportive measures may be available regardless of whether the complainant chooses to file a formal complaint or report the prohibited conduct to law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cornell is a caring community. We hope that you take advantage of the many resources available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For confidential support resources other than those listed above, you may call the New York State Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline at 1-800-942-6906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An individual who experiences prohibited conduct is encouraged to seek immediate medical assistance. Students are not required to report an incident to law enforcement or to Cornell in order to receive medical attention or a forensic exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nurses can assess injuries related to physical trauma; evaluate for sexually transmitted infections and possible pregnancy; provide medical care (including medications to prevent infections and pregnancy); and can, within the first 96 hours after a sexual assault, administer a forensic exam. During the forensic exam, the SANE nurse documents and collects evidence of sexual contact and\/or physical trauma (including injuries to the body and genitals), trace evidence, biological fluids, and identifiable DNA. When there is reason to believe that an assault may have been facilitated by the use of drugs or alcohol, the forensic exam may also include the collection of urine and blood samples for toxicology testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of whether a forensic exam is obtained after a sexual assault, individuals are encouraged to seek follow-up care to address any ongoing medical concerns, including those related to sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. Students may access care at Cornell Health or through any appropriate health care provider outside of Cornell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Cornell Health healthcare provider or counselor is available 24\/7 at 607-255-5155 to answer questions and provide medical and emotional support. Call Cornell Health, and a healthcare provider will provide information about your care options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) is the nearest hospital to the Ithaca campus, where an individual can receive a forensic sexual assault examination. Exams are conducted by CMC, with the support of experienced counselors-advocates from the Advocacy Center of Tompkins County (TCAC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Use this for reference whenever you need to know about supportive measures and resources that can be tapped for help when an incident of prohibited conduct occurs at Cornell.
