The university urges any person with knowledge of an incident of prohibited conduct to report the incident immediately to the university using this form. These reports are received and reviewed by Equity and Access Services. VCU will make reasonable efforts to protect privacy while balancing the need to gather information to assess the report and to take steps to eliminate prohibited conduct, prevent its recurrence, and remedy its effects. While some of the fields below are not required, the university will be better able to assess and respond to complete reports.
Retaliation is prohibited. Retaliation in response to these activities will not be tolerated. Knowingly making a false report, or reporting with malice or reckless disregard for the truth is also prohibited.
More information on the university's process, resources, and reporting options can be found on the Equity and Access Services website.
