The University encourages reporting to provide support and resources, offer resolution options, stop the conduct, prevent its recurrence, and remedy its effects. If you or someone you know has experienced or becomes aware of possible discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct, you are encouraged to make a Civil Rights & Title IX Report.
The Civil Rights & Title IX Reporting Form is the UW’s central reporting form for concerns that may violate federal and state non-discrimination laws. These laws prohibit sexual misconduct, and discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics.
