We often advise clients who are understandably uncertain in the face of the litigation frenzy surrounding Title IX sexual harassment cases to abide by the Golden Rule of protecting a student's safety above all else. That doesn't mean you ignore other people's rights, but if it comes down to protecting a student you legitimately believe is in danger versus potentially violating someone's rights, you protect the student.
