Reporting & Process

Confidential Assistance

Information about or assistance with sexual and gender-based misconduct policy or support resources may be obtained from a variety of university resources. Prior to filing a report, some individuals may find it helpful to consult with a confidential resource. All information shared will remain confidential to the extent permitted by law and university policy. Discussions with representatives from these offices are not considered a formal report to the university and, without additional action, will not result in intervention.

Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct, Discrimination & Harassment

The U-M community is encouraged to report potential sexual and gender-based misconduct, as well as protected class discrimination and discriminatory harassment, through the following channels. This includes sexual misconduct related to all U-M campuses, including Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Flint and Michigan Medicine. We are committed to providing safe ways for community members, which include students, faculty, staff, and third parties, to report an incident.
