Where to File a Complaint or Report
Any student, employee, or other individual who is participating or attempting to participate in the University’s education program or activity who believes he or she has suffered discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in violation of the Nondiscrimination, Harassment and Sex-based Harassment policy should contact the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator to make a complaint. A complaint of sex-based harassment can only be made by the person alleged to have been subjected to the sex-based harassment, by someone who has a legal right to act on behalf of such person, or by the Title IX coordinator.
Any person can make a report of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. While certain students and employees are required to report sex discrimination, students who are not required to report discrimination, harassment, or retaliation are still encouraged to make reports of information they learn.
Complaints or reports may be made in person, by telephone, by voicemail message, by email, or by letter. Complaints or reports should be made as soon as possible after an incident or suspected incident of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. The University will accept anonymous and third-party reports. The person making an anonymous report is encouraged to provide as much detail as possible to allow the Title IX Coordinator to investigate the allegation and respond, as appropriate.
