College of Engineering Office of Inclusive Excellence Reporting Tool

Bias Reporting

Whether you are a student or employee, we encourage you to report these incidents using the College’s Incident Reporting tool. This tool not only provides the option for you to receive tailored support from trained advocates, but it allows the College to better understand where targeted interventions are needed to improve our community as a whole. Reports are handled by a small group of trained individuals within the Dean’s Office at the College of Engineering who will work towards a resolution. Although we are required to request your name as part of the reporting process, we are committed to protecting your identity and you can choose to remain anonymous after the initial report filing. At the University of Washington, students and employees are protected from discrimination, harassment and retaliation.

Contact a member of the DEI Committee

Title IX and other federal and state laws collectively prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, pregnancy or parenting status, and LGBTQ+ identity. Reporting sex- and gender-based violence, harassment, or discrimination to the Office of the Title IX Coordinator is an important step in preventing and addressing prohibited conduct.
