OIEC offers a variety of supportive measures to ensure a safe and nondiscriminatory environment and to reduce disruptions to daily life. We coordinate with offices across campus to help individuals remain in school or at work. OIEC balances the various needs of all involved parties. This includes providing resources for individuals who have experienced behavior prohibited under applicable policies (complainant) and those accused of prohibited conduct (respondent).
OIEC provides assistance and information about resolution options through OIEC and/or other offices onÌýor off campus, and makes referrals when a situation falls outside of OIEC’s jurisdiction.
