Report Potential Problems and Assist with Compliance

If you suspect criminal activity on campus or see conduct that raises immediate safety concerns, you should contact Campus Safety at 303-871-3000 or call 911.

The University requires all Responsible Employees to immediately report any conduct which could implicate the University’s Comprehensive Discrimination and Harassment Procedures or Title IX Sexual Harassment Procedures to the University’s Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity. If reporting as a Responsible Employee, a report must be made by contacting the the Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity at http://du.edu/equalopportunity or using this online form. If you have any questions, please contact the Associate Vice Chancellor of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity and Title IX/Title IX Coordinator at titleix@du.edu.

It is hard to predict what questions you might have or problems you might see. Here are some examples of common issues at colleges and universities:

  • Improper practices regarding monies, reimbursements, University accounts or other financial issues.
  • A program at the University is not managed in compliance with law.
  • Conduct that makes you think there is likely a compliance issue, but you cannot figure out what it might be.
  • Safety issues or conduct that appears outside of proper guidelines.
  • Conduct that appears to violate University policies.
  • A problem that appears to violate state or federal laws.
