Making a Report
OPHD reviews every report brought to our attention. In order to help us respond to the report, please include as much of the following information as possible:
- Your name
- The name of the person experiencing the harassment or discrimination (if not you)
- The name of the person who is alleged to have committed the harassment or discrimination
- A brief description of what happened or of the concern
Please know that if you are forwarding a report that you saw on social media and your knowledge of that report is limited to what you have read or seen on social media and you do not have direct knowledge of what occurred, please let us know so that we do not work to contact you for more information.
Encouraging Student Reports of Sexual Violence/Sexual Harassment
To encourage reporting of student-related sexual violence/sexual harassment concerns, student complainants or witnesses will not be disciplined for student conduct policy violations that occur around the time of the alleged conduct that are related to alcohol or drugs, unless the University determines that the violation was egregious such as conduct that risked someone's health or safety, or involved plagiarism, cheating, or academic dishonesty.
What Happens After You Make a Report
Once we receive a report, we send an email to the individual who experienced the harassment or discrimination. In that email we include an invitation to meet with us to discuss what steps our office can take to address the situation and we provide campus and community resources available to assist.
For information on the process after the initial report, visit the complaint resolution page https://ophd.berkeley.edu/complaint-resolution-process.
