Reporting sexual violence & sexual harassment (SVSH); protected category discrimination & harassment; retaliation; and hate/bias incidents.

Anyone can report a concern. Reporting enables the University to address and prevent harm and impacted parties to receive information about their options and resources.

What happens when a report is made? 

  1. Initial assessment of report
  2. Email outreach to the impacted person (Complainant), resource information provided
  3.  Intake meeting with Complainant; discussion of resolution options and supportive measures
  4. Resolution pathway options:  

Throughout the process

  • Complainants can decide whether to initiate a resolution process

  • University can offer support services to all parties and witnesses

  • Parties can have an advisor accompany them
