Dear all, The following email from the Associate Dean of the Graduate School has been shared with several academic units. We thought that the BNC community should also be aware of this.

Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 12:08 PM To: Bridgham, Jeff E. Subject: Sexual Harassment Reporting The Graduate School wants to make sure that all graduate students are aware of ways to report concerns related to sexual harassment. Purdue's Office of Institutional Equity, located in Young Hall (10th Floor) is best positioned to receive and explore allegations regarding sexual harassment as well as other forms of harassment, discrimination, and unfair treatment. The Office of Institutional Equity suggests two electronic ways for you to share your concerns: 1. First, the Sexual Assault Report Form, which may also be used to share concerns of sexual harassment, may be accessed at https://publicdocs.maxient.com/reportingform.php?PurdueUniv&layout_id=15. Information on the form also provides contact information for the Purdue University Police Department should a student be in need of emergency assistance. When submitted, this report is received by the Office of Institutional Equity and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. 2. Second, the Incident Reporting Form, a way to report a wider range of conduct concerns, may be accessed at https://publicdocs.maxient.com/incidentreport.php?PurdueUniv. When submitted, this report is received by the Office of the Dean of Students. When appropriate or needed, the report is shared with the Office of Institutional Equity. Likewise, staff in the Office of Institutional Equity are available to meet with graduate students and others in the campus community to discuss concerns connected to harassment or discrimination. You may make an appointment via email at equity@purdue.edu<mailto:equity@purdue.edu> or by calling 494-7253. Finally, the University's complete policies and procedures relating to harassment are available online through the Office of Institutional Equity<http://www.purdue.edu/ethics/oie/equal-access.html>. Best wishes for the remainder of the semester, Tom Atkinson Associate Dean of the Graduate School
