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:

  1. Providing information about discrimination and harassment and options for addressing it.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
