What Happens When I Report?

When you report an incident of discrimination or sexual and gender-based violence, here is what will happen:

1. A member of the OHRE team will contact you within two (2) business days to coordinate a private and confidential meeting with you.
2. At that meeting, you will be provided information about the following options:
   • Whether you want to access accommodations or on or off-campus support services
   • Whether you want to pursue an informal resolution or formal resolution process

Important Note:

1. You can access accommodations and on or off-campus support services without pursuing an informal resolution or formal resolution process.
2. You are in control of the process. You can choose to pursue an informal resolution or formal resolution process OR not pursue either one. 

What will not happen when I report?

When you report an incident of discrimination or sexual and gender-based violence, here is what will not happen:

1. We will not contact the person(s) who your allegations of discrimination or sexual and gender-based violence are against without your consent, unless you choose to pursue an informal resolution or formal resolution process.
2. We will not contact any other faculty or department of the University without your consent. 
3. We will not start a process, informal or formal, without your consent.
