All CU staff working with FCQs are mandatory reporters and are required to report violations of campus policies to the appropriate campus office:

Boulder: Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance

Colorado Springs: Office of Institutional Equity

Denver: Office of Equity

The Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) is responsible for addressing sexual misconduct (including sexual assault, exploitation and harassment, intimate partner abuse, and stalking), protected class discrimination and harassment, and any related retaliation at CU Boulder.

All employees who have the authority to hire, promote, discipline, evaluate, grade, formally advise, or direct faculty, staff or students are considered "responsible employees" and are required to report to OIEC.

This means:

• A responsible employee who becomes aware of sexual misconduct (including sexual assault, exploitation, and harassment, intimate partner abuse, and stalking), discrimination or harassment involving any member of the CU community must report it to OIEC.

• This applies whether the member of our community is the person who was subjected to the misconduct or the person accused of the misconduct.

• This applies regardless of where or when an incident occurred or how the information was conveyed to a responsible employee.

• The purpose of mandatory reporting is to ensure safety, offer support and resources (such as the Office of Victim Assistance), understand the scope of the concern, and to get the behavior to stop.

• When in doubt, contact OIEC for further guidance at 303-492-2127 or report at cureport@colorado.edu.

Any faculty or staff member who is considered a Responsible Employeeresponsible employee, as defined herein, who witnesses or receives information regarding possible prohibited protected class discrimination or harassment is required to promptly report the information to the Office of Equity or his or her designee. Such information about the alleged conduct, where possible, should include:

• Name of the alleged complainant(s);

• Name of alleged respondent(s);

• Name of any alleged witnesses; and

• Any other relevant facts, including the date, time and specific location of the alleged incident.

All other individuals who become aware of an incident of Prohibited Conduct are highly encouraged to report all known details about the Prohibited Conduct to the University Office of Equity by telephone, email, in person, or through the University’s online Incident Report Form.

The University may have an obligation to report to the police, keeping the name of the victim confidential, in circumstances where the incident includes an allegation that a crime has been committed.

A responsible employee is any employee who:

• Has the authority to hire, promote, discipline, evaluate, grade, formally advise, or direct faculty, staff, or students;

• Has the authority to take action to redress sexual misconduct as defined herein; and/or

• Has been given the duty of reporting incidents of sexual violence or any other misconduct by students to the Title IX Coordinator.

Examples of responsible employees include, but are not limited to: faculty, teaching assistants, residence advisors, academic advisors, coaches, supervisors, and anyone who leads, administers, or directs University programs.

• This does not include any medical, mental health, Ombuds, or counseling office personnel, in addition to any other offices covered by a statutory privilege or designated in campus procedures as not subject to mandatory reporting to the University.
