Report It

Individuals who experience discrimination including sexual harassment have options regarding who to tell, if anyone. All BHSU employees--except licensed counselors and medical professionals--are required to forward such reports to the BHSU Title IX Office; which is obligated to respond. This obligation also requires us to notify law enforcement about felony acts. BHSU employees include, but are not limited to: RAs, hall directors, faculty and staff members, academic advisers, coaches, and administrators.
