Resources for Responding to Mentee Reports of Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Unprofessional Interpersonal Interactions
As a mentor, you are a trusted source for information and support. Therefore, your mentee is likely to share with you when they have had a difficult interaction, which may range from a microevent or microaggression, experience of inequity in access, or exclusion from a group, to overt discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct. What are your responsibilities in these situations? How can you support the learner? What resources can you refer them to? When are you required to report what you are told?
As a faculty member, you are a Mandatory Reporter under University Interim Rule 1-012 and associated Rules 1-012a and 1-012b. What does that mean? How should you respond when a mentee reports discrimination, harassment or sexual misconduct? What if you aren’t sure if the reported behavior meets the definition of those? How can you best support mentees as a mentor, faculty member, and mandatory reporter? What resources are available for learning what to do? What resources are available to you and your mentee in such situations?
If a mentee reports an experience of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct, or if you think it may be or aren’t sure if the experience meets the criteria, you must act as a mandatory reporter.
The resources below will help you navigate these situations.

University of Utah Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action (OEO) The OEO is dedicated to providing a fair and equitable environment for all to pursue their academic and professional endeavors and to equally access University programs. They are an excellent source of support, information, and referrals. They are helpful if you want to report discrimination (harassment, sexual and gender-based harassment, and sexual misconduct are all forms of discrimination), if you aren't sure if something is discrimination, or if you want information on what to do next. They provide confidential, victim-centered, trauma-informed support. |
