Problem
Spring break has just ended and the campus is buzzing again, especially since summer is only a few weeks away. You are catching up with your student leader about how spring break was, when the conversation turns serious. She reports to you that one of her residents, while on spring break with other students, was sexually assaulted. Although there was drinking involved, the reporting party is pretty sure she knows the assaulter and that he lives in the same building. His name is Liam.
How would you balance the needs of the reporting party and your relationship with Liam? Both students have needs that should be addressed. What are those needs and what is the most appropriate way to respond to those needs? Which needs are most pressing? Explain your reasoning.
