For all reports containing contact information, a BEST member will contact the reporting person and offer a meeting to discuss the incident in detail and explore a plan for resolution. During this meeting, the reporting person can expect to obtain information about related University policies, procedures, and resources.

BEST may consult with other offices as needed to ensure a proper response. All campus entities will adhere to FERPA regulations when handling reports and information submitted via this website. If the matter is referred for further action by the Dean of Students Office or another appropriate campus entity, the processes for review and action are carried out with the same measure of individual protection.

For information regarding pursuing disciplinary or legal action against anyone subject to University policies, please see: University’s Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Sexual Misconduct.
