Title VI
If you have experienced discrimination or harassment based on protected class, been witness to a situation, or just need to talk, we encourage you to seek support. When you have concerns or questions, you have a wide range of choices for support.
You can reach out to a Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinator (DHRC). DHRCs receive concerns and offer advice and guidance related to diversity and inclusion, discrimination and harassment and equal opportunity. Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators, appointed by the Dean of each college and school, serve as key community members who receive concerns and provide guidance related to Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation
