When you have concerns or questions, you have a range of choices for support. Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators (formerly “Deans’ Designees”) have been identified by the Dean of each college and school as community members with the responsibility to receive concerns and offer advice and guidance related to diversity and inclusion, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and equal opportunity. Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators may also help facilitate informal resolution. This may be an individual’s best “first stop” in discussing a concern related to discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, particularly as Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators will be knowledgeable about resources specific to their school or college.
Students can speak with others with whom you are comfortable, such as your residential college dean or the dean of student affairs in your school. For information on reporting discrimination or harassment other than gender discrimination or sexual misconduct, visit the Resources for Resolution section.
If you would like to talk with someone about sexual misconduct or gender discrimination, you can reach out directly to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator in your school (who in some cases is also the Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinator) or the Title IX at Yale website.
