Complaints

The University has an Equal Opportunity Complaint Procedure to deal promptly and fairly with concerns and complaints about discrimination or harassment. Any student or employee who feels that they have experienced sexual harassment, and anyone with knowledge of an incident, should contact their supervisor, the campus Equal Opportunity Officer (if the alleged harasser is an employee), the Title IX Coordinator, or Student Judicial Officer (if the alleged harasser is a student) as soon as possible after the incident. Any supervisor who becomes aware of a problem must promptly contact the Equal Opportunity Officer.

The Equal Opportunity Officer, Title IX Coordinator, or Student Conduct Officer discusses informal and formal options for resolving the problem. The goal of the informal process is to seek a resolution acceptable to everyone involved. Many concerns can be addressed through the informal process, which provides the maximum privacy and an opportunity for the earliest possible resolution. It is important to note that in certain circumstances, such as sexual assault, informal resolution may not be appropriate.
