  • Education

To learn more about EOAA policy, procedure and resources, or to make a report on the Twin Cities campus, please visit the UMN EOAA homepage.

Bias

When a member of the University of Minnesota Morris community experiences or becomes aware of a possible bias-related incident, the University of Minnesota will provide support and address disrespectful bias and discrimination within our community.  Faculty, staff, and students may use this link to submit an online report. The report can be made anonymously.  If you have been physically threatened or are the victim of a crime, Call 9-1-1 or contact Public Safety.

Sexual Misconduct Reporting

As the Morris campus Title IX office, EOAA responds to sexual misconduct concerns. University of Minnesota employees are required to report possible sexual misconduct that they learn about to their campus Title IX office.

Faculty, staff, and students may use this link to submit an online report. The report can be made anonymously; however, confidentially reporting or sharing information about sexual misconduct through this report does not satisfy the obligation of University employees to report incidents of sexual misconduct to the Title IX Office.

As required by Title IX, the University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in any of its education programs or activities, including in admissions and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX can be directed to the University’s Title IX Coordinators or to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights. Please see the University of Minnesota’s Title IX Statement and the University’s policy for information about:

  1. how to contact the Title IX Coordinators on the University’s campuses;
  2. how to report or file a formal complaint of sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, sexual assault, stalking or relationship violence; and
  3. the University’s procedures for responding to reports and formal complaints.

EOAA, Bias and Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form

UReport

UReport provides another way for University community members (students, faculty, staff or others) to report violations of rules, regulations and policies. The report can be made anonymously, however, confidentially reporting or sharing information about sexual misconduct through UReport does not satisfy the obligation of University employees to report incidents of sexual misconduct to the Title IX Office.

To learn more about this obligation or to make a report on the Twin Cities campus, please visit the Reporting page.
