Options
If you believe you may be experiencing
sexual harassment, a number of options are available to address your
concerns.
University policy does not require that persons who believe they
have been victims of sexual harassment file a formal complaint.
Some persons prefer to try to resolve the matter on their own.
Nothing in University policy prevents such self-resolution. Other
persons prefer to report their concerns to the University.
Resources are available from the Information Centers with respect to
all options.
For Students
Resolve without making a report:
The Office of the Dean of Students assists students in exploring
options for resolving concerns without making a report to a

students in obtaining new housing or new roommates, dropping
courses, or changing sections.
