The online report form below can be used by community members to report an incident that you believe impacts our campus climate, campus inclusion, or a bias-related incident. The report form can be used to report bias incidents where someone is subject to discrimination, harassment, abuse, bullying, stereotyping, hostility, marginalization, or other form of mistreatment based on their identity or membership in a particular group or other incidents or concerns that impact campus inclusion.
When a report is filed, it is reviewed by the Campus Inclusion Resource Team (CIRT) and contact with the incident reporter is initiated. If the person who files the report leaves contact information, a member of the Campus Climate Response Team will follow up with the reporter within 2 University business days from the date that the report was filed.
Bias-related incidents often do not rise to the level of a crime or a violation of state law, University policy, or the Code of Student Conduct. If it is believed that the reported incident may warrant University disciplinary processes, it will be forwarded to the appropriate University officials for review and a member of CIRT will communicate with the incident reporter that the report has been forwarded. The CIRT is not an adjudicative body and cannot impose discipline in responding to reported incidents that are protected forms of speech or expression. It is not the role of the CIRT to investigate or determine whether a report involved a violation of University policy, nor can the CIRT require participation in any aspect of its work.
The reporting form above is not designed to report the behavior or actions of Texas Tech employees. To file a report about a staff or faculty member, please contact the EEO Office at (806) 742-2000 or file a report via EthicsPoint.
