Reporting Incidents

At the University of Minnesota Duluth, fostering a climate of safety and respect is a critical campus priority. As a community – students, faculty, staff – we can only achieve our best in a campus environment that is safe, civil and inclusive.

Actions that undermine and damage a safe, respectful and diverse campus climate should be reported. 

• If you are a victim or a target of any of the incidents defined below, see How to File a  Complaint below.

• If you observe or witness incidents that detract from a safe and respectful campus, use the report link below.  The report can be anonymous.  Incidents might include graffiti or words on clothing that reflect racial or gender bias; inappropriate statements or confrontations in classrooms that are not addressed by the instructor; intentional isolation of persons from underrepresented populations; offensive language used on UMD-affiliated social network sites; racial discrimination by other students, or UMD employees; etc. 

This information will assist us in assessing our campus climate over time.  What else can you do to promote a welcoming campus climate?
