Discrimination and Harassment Assistors
If you feel you have experienced discrimination and harassment on campus, in the work
or school environment and you would like to speak to someone, you may contact
a discrimination and harassment Assistor. You may prefer to contact an Assistor from a college
or department other than your own.
The university has designated several offices to provide assistance through
persons designated as Assistors to help anyone who believes she or he may have
been subjected to discrimination and harassment or who wishes to make an inquiry
concerning discrimination and harassment. Assistors have information about university policies
and procedures and about options available for the resolution of complaints,
but they are not responsible for resolving complaints. Lists of designated Assistors
are available from the
Dean of Students office, the
Women's Center, and the Employee
Assistance Program and may be found in the University Directory immediately
following the section on "University Councils and Committees-" The Assistors
functions include the following:
- Providing information about discrimination and harassment and options for addressing
it.
- Informing the complainant regarding applicable university policies and
procedures and outlining various options, both informal and formal, for resolving
the complaint. In addition to providing the employee with a written copy of
the university's discrimination and harassment policy, the Assistor will provide information
as to various strategies that the complainant may use if he or she wishes
to attempt resolution personally, such as confronting the alleged offender,
writing a letter to the alleged offender, or utilizing the services of a third
party as an intervener.
- Accompanying the complainant to informal resolution sessions, if requested
by the complainant. The Assistor does not, however, function as an advocate
or spokesperson for the complainant, nor does the Assistor act in lieu of
a complainant.
Maintaining notes necessary for statistical reporting. Assistors are required
to forward to the
Office
of Equal Opportunity and Diversity, on an annual basis, information on
the number and nature of complaints that have been received. These data shall
not contain information that would identify the complainant or the person
accused in the complaint.
This is a current list of all designated Assistors on the ISU campus.
