Reporting

The University of Minnesota and Medical School has a few different options for reporting incidents.

Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action was founded in 1972 to ensure that all University community members uphold federal and state civil rights laws and regulations, as well as University equal opportunity practices. The EOAA investigates complaints about discrimination; harassment, including sexual harassment; sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence; nepotism; and retaliation. The EOAA provides educational programming and is responsible for recommending changes and making revisions to relevant University policies and procedures.

Members of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus community and visitors to campus can report bias incidents to the BRRN by:
