Responsible Employees
by UAA Office of Equity and Compliance |
April has been nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month for over 21 years. Gov. Dunleavy released a proclamation for this month, reflecting the priority for awareness in Alaska. His proclamation can be found at: Sexual Assault Awareness Month Alaska Proclamation.
Importantly at UA, our policy requires 'responsible employees' to report any sex or gender-based discrimination, regardless of who it involves, and regardless of the type of allegation, to the Title IX Coordinator within 24 hours.
All University of Alaska staff, faculty and Residence Life student employees are designated as 'responsible employees,' with the limited exception of licensed mental health counselors, clergy, other persons with a professional license requiring confidentiality who are working within that license, and those employees who work in the student health and counseling centers. Student employees, with the exception of those working for Residence Life, are not designated responsible employees at the university.
If you have any questions about the role of a responsible employee, please contact the Office of Equity and Compliance. Responsible employees or anyone wanting to make a report to the Office of Equity and Compliance can do so at Online Incident Report to OEC or by calling 907-786-0818. To make a report to the University Police Department, call 907-786-1120.
Thank you for being an active bystander and for speaking up as a Seawolf!
