Report to the University
The university responds promptly when there is an incident report concerning discrimination or sexual misconduct. When you file an incident report, the Office of Equity will contact the person who experienced the sexual misconduct or discrimination to provide information about options through the office, including supportive measures, resources, reporting options, and the investigation process.
Privacy of Information Shared
Information shared with the Office of Equity is kept private, but may be shared on a limited basis within the university to provide supportive measures or to investigate a formal complaint. When there is a formal complaint, the person who experienced the sexual misconduct or discrimination cannot remain anonymous.
Amnesty for Student Code Violations
USU offers amnesty for drug and alcohol policy violations of the Student Code when a student reports an incident of sexual misconduct, whether they experienced or witnessed it. Those students who participate in the Office of Equity grievance process concerning sexual misconduct incidents are also granted amnesty, though they may be encouraged to participate in health education interventions.
