Reporting Concerns and Misconduct

If you encounter inappropriate behavior or misconduct, or if you are unsure if you have experienced such behavior, there are resources and contacts available to you.
Before you report, you must decide if you would like to keep your initial conversation confidential. Your supervisor is a reasonable initial source for discussing workplace concerns, but if you are not comfortable directly speaking with your supervisor, you may choose to discuss your concerns with a confidential resource.
The goal is to stop the behavior, and the most effective way to do that is to report your concerns so that the matter may be reviewed. Supervisors are obligated to report these matters to the Office for Institutional Equity (OIE). However, even in this situation you will have choices. OIE will contact you, and you can choose whether you respond, whether you seek additional information about resolution options, and whether you participate in a resolution option.

Non-confidential reporting resources you can contact directly:

Reporting Confidentially

There are options for reporting incidents confidentially. These options allow you to talk with someone that can help you work through your possible next steps. These Resources are prohibited from disclosing confidential information until (1) given permission by the person who disclosed the information; (2) there is an imminent threat of harm to self or others; (3) the conduct involves suspected abuse of a minor under the age of 18; or (4) as otherwise required or permitted by law or court order. The following is a list of confidential resources that can help you understand your options for moving forward and provide support in that process should you choose to make a report.
Confidential resources include:
