As remote learning continues this summer, faculty may encounter concerning behavior involving their students. We remind faculty of the availability of the SAY SOMETHING website, a central hub for reporting Persons of Concern, Bias Incidents, Student Conduct Reports, Title IX Reports, and other behavior issues to the appropriate staff members. Through the Say Something website, we encourage the same prompt reporting of concerns as would be the case when classes are meeting face-to-face.
The University maintains jurisdiction regarding student behavior and will adhere to its established policies and procedures to address behavioral issues, even if the conduct occurs off campus in the virtual environment. All staff members in offices such as Dean of Students, Title IX Coordinator, and Office of Student Conduct remain available to confer with you and will recommend the appropriate resolution of issues.
For general questions or support call the Office of the Dean of Students at 765-285-1545.
