II.
RESPONSIBILITIES TO REPORT
All members of the
University community should report incidents of harassment in order to
support the University policy. In order to assure the University is free of
prohibited harassment, University officers, deans, department heads,
faculty members, directors, and supervisors are required to report all
incidents of harassment that they may have witnessed or have been advised
of.
The most appropriate
recipients of reports are:
- The Office of The Vice
President for Student Affairs or the appropriate School's designee if
the alleged harasser is a student;1
- The Human Resources
Officer of the appropriate School or Department or The Office of
Employee Relations of the Human Resources Division if the alleged
harasser is an employee, including a student employee;2
- The Dean of the
appropriate School or Faculty or the Dean's designee if the alleged
harasser is a faculty member;3 or
- The Director of Equal
Opportunity if the alleged harasser is a visitor, vendor, third-party,
or the Dean of an NYU School.4
It is not always easy
to interpret words or actions that may be ambiguous and one may think are
inappropriate. Therefore, the offices noted above are available to discuss
the circumstances and address matters before they become severe or
pervasive.
If a report is made
to any of these offices, and that is not the appropriate office to receive
the report, it becomes the responsibility of that office to forward the
report to the appropriate office. If any of the persons at these offices is
implicated in the harassment, or if a conflict of interest arises, the
report should be made to the Director of Equal Opportunity. If that office is
implicated, the report should be made to the Provost.
