How to Report

If you are a COMPLAINANT wishing to report an incident of sexual assault, stalking, domestic/dating violence, discrimination or sexual harassment please see the chart below to understand your reporting options, which include confidential resources, both on and off campus.

If you are an NU EMPLOYEE, please know that ALL employees are expected to immediately report ANY incident of alleged discrimination (racial, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, national origin, etc.), including sexual assaults, stalking and dating/domestic violence. It is recommended that employees report directly to the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator, but may also report to their supervisor.

NYS Sexual Harassment Complaint Form

New York State Labor Law requires all employers to adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy that includes a complaint form for employees to report alleged incidents of sexual harassment. If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual harassment, you are encouraged to complete this form and submit it to the office for Title IX and Civil Rights.
