Administrative Option

If you don’t believe the interpersonal option will be successful, or you have tried the interpersonal approach and it did not stop the concerning behavior, you may consider reporting to a supervisor or HR professional.

The typical options for response include:

  • Reporting to a supervisor or HR professional

Your supervisor will need to know:

  • What or who has been the main cause of your concerns
  • What type of behavior has been occurring and how often
  • Your preferences as to how you would like the matter resolved

Please note:

  • Although your report will only be shared with those who have a need to know, it is not confidential. If you would first like to speak with a confidential resource, you should contact the Ombuds or EAO.
  • Sexual misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation) will need to be reported to the Office of Compliance for response.
  • Any active safety concerns for you or others on campus may need to be reported to UWPD
  • Reports to a supervisor or an HR representative may lead to an initial HR inquiry, but will not initiate a formal investigation.
