Reporting Conduct Violations/Incidents
请参阅 第九条 投诉过程 Flow Chart for a better understanding of the complaint submission process and what options are available.
Heidelberg University strongly supports and encourages prompt reporting of sex discrimination. Reporting provides resources to victims and contributes to keeping the campus safe. All Heidelberg community members (students, 工作人员, and faculty) should help ensure that violations of 第九条 are promptly reported. Most Heidelberg employees are mandatory reporters as described in the Importance of Reporting section below. 正常情况下, this means reporting any witnessed violations, or violations learned about through the disclosure of others. Reporting is not the same as filing a formal complaint (although for some purposes a formal complaint may also serve as a report).
If a person believes they or someone they know has been the victim of sex discrimination, it should promptly be reported to the University's 第九条 coordinator or a deputy coordinator. 另外, if a person believes they or someone they know has been the victim of sex discrimination a report may be made to the Heidelberg University Security and 安全 Department at (419) 448-2211 or through any member of the 居住生活 工作人员.
A person filing a complaint will be provided with the Heidelberg University Sex Discriminations policy.
Instances of sex discrimination may violate both the University's sex discrimination policy and the law. 结果是, the University encourages victims to pursue their complaints through both the University's process for sex discrimination and through the criminal justice system. The 吃午饭 Police Department, which can be reached at (419) 448-2323, can explain the procedures for pursuing a criminal investigation of sex discrimination. The 吃午饭 Police Department will investigate every incident reported to police to determine if a crime has been committed.
最后，美国.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is the entity that is charged with enforcing 第九条 compliance. Inquiries about these issues may also be referred to the Office for Civil Rights/克利夫兰 at U.S. Department of Education, 600 Superior Avenue East, 750套房, 克利夫兰, OH 44114 or by calling (216) 522-4970.
