Where to File a Complaint:

• To File a complaint you must first complete the Incident Report Form you can print out HERE.
• For most incidents, contact the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards. (164 Oregon Hall, call 346-1140 to arrange a meeting time)
• If the incident occurred in a residence hall, contact your Complex Director.
• If the incident involves a fraternity or sorority, contact the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards or the Greek Tribunal Advisor. (Greek Life in the EMU; call 346-1146)
• For issues of sexual assault, harassment, or stalking, contact the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards. For issues of misconduct of a student employee, contact the Affirmative Action Office (474 Oregon Hall or 346-3123).
• For issues of academic dishonesty, contact the faculty member for the course or the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards.

The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards handles complaints against UO students and student groups, but not faculty or staff. The misconduct must consititute a violation of one of the regulations covered by the Student Conduct Code.

People are encouraged to talk with someone from the student conduct system about their concerns. Feel free to discuss the isssue with someone below to help you decide IF you want to make a complaint. Remember, you can still make a complaint through the criminal or civil court system even if the University is pursuing a conduct charge on the incident. If you decide not to file a complaint, you may want to use the campus Mediation Program to resolve the problem you are having.

Once you file a complaint, a University staff member is responsible for determining if there is a potential violation and notifying the student or group of the charge. The subsequent case is one the University brings against the charged student and your role is of witness to the misconduct. You may want to look at the section What Happens if a Complaint is filed Against You to see what the process will be like. If the case is handed informally by a conduct referree, you may talk with him or her privately about the incident. In the occassional case that is handled formally, you may be asked to come to a hearing as a witness.

When you make a complaint, you will be asked to write down what you saw or heard. Remember that the person named has a right to see what you write.
