I want to file a report of a student perpetrating sexual harassment or discrimination.
Action Item
File a report with the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (OSCCS)
This will be a non-confidential report.
This report will trigger action.
What happens after you file a report (in order):
- OSC will contact the complainant, offer to meet to discuss the report, any supportive measures that may be needed, and options for next steps.
- Options for how to proceed may include supportive measures only, informal resolution or formal resolution.
- If a formal complaint is filed, OIE will assign an investigator, who will conduct an investigation.
- The appropriate deans in The Graduate School will be notified, and they will reach out to the leadership of your program.
- OSC will conduct interviews with all involved parties, and with witnesses if needed.
- OSC will write a report which will get sent to the involved parties.
- If the complaint falls under Title IX, OIE will conduct a hearing. If the complaint does not fall under Title IX, OSC will conduct a hearing. The goal of a hearing is to determine where a finding of responsibility should be made. Either party may appeal the finding.
