What is a Safer Spaces Report?
黄大仙高手论坛 has established the safer spaces policies and procedures to address reports of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Prohibited conduct is listed in the Safer Spaces policy.
A Safer Spaces report means alerting the university to an incident. A complaint means a formal request for an evidence-based investigation resolution process. You may report an incident to the university with or without a formal complaint.
What can I expect if I make a report?
When you submit a report that includes your contact information, someone from the safer spaces team will reach out to you by email to acknowledge your report and invite you to a meeting. In the meeting, the team member will listen to you, offer support resources, share options for pursuing a formal report, and answer your questions.
You can access support resources and assistance without committing to an investigation.
You can learn more about the safer spaces process in our VAWA Brochure.
