Filing a Complaint

Complaints Received Directly from Complainants
When the EEO Office receives a report from a person directly impacted by prohibited discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, we will reach out to you to provide information and to offer supportive resources. If you choose to meet with someone from EEO, we will assess your report to determine if it is appropriate for EEO to address. If it's not, we will refer it to the appropriate office.
Third Party Reports of Alleged Discrimination
The EEO Office frequently receives reports from Responsible Employees, those who are obligated to report when they learn of behavior that may violate the Anti-Discrimination Policy. Additionally, individuals may choose to report when they learn of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that has affected another person. After receiving a report from one of these third parties, the EEO Office will reach out to the impacted party to make them aware of the report, to provide information, and to offer any available supportive resources. Individuals are not required to respond to contact from EEO. If a party chooses not to engage or asks not to be contacted on a particular matter, the office will make every attempt to respect these wishes. Please note that EEO is a university office of record. When we receive a report, we may be required to take responsive action, depending on the behavior alleged. EEO will not take responsive action without first making the impacted party aware.
