Office of Compliance and Civil Rights (Title IX and DHR)

How do I report an incident?

Ways to report

Email

The easiest way to report a concern is by emailing OCCR directly at occr@mail.fresnostate.edu. In your message, please provide a brief, factual description of who was involved, what occurred, when it happened, and where it took place, along with any additional information you believe may be helpful.

Regardless of the way you choose to report your conerns, the Office for Compliance and Civil Rights will review your report and follow up with you regarding next steps.

*Please note, users who previously created an account with Case IQ when making an online report should use this Returning Users Log-in Portal. It does not use your campus log-in credentials. If you are making a new report to the campus Title IX and Civil Rights Office (even if this is not your first time reporting), please use the "Online" link above. 

What to do

  • We would like to speak with you directly to explain your rights and options, although it is entirely up to you which, if any, of the campus services you would like to use.
  • If you choose to have a meeting, a member of the OCCR team will walk you through the options for pursuing a complaint under campus policy and will answer any questions you might have about the policy or procedures.
  • You are welcome to bring a support person to the meeting, including the campus Confidential Advocate or someone else of your choosing.

We strongly encourage you to report it using one of the methods above. 

  • You are required to report incidents, except for those specifically designated by the University as confidential.
  • Confidential employees on campus are aware of their status. Confidential employees include, for instance, certain medical and counseling staff and the Confidential Advocate. Please consult with the Department of Compliance and Civil Rights if you have any questions. The University requires employees to report so that the trained professionals in OCR can effectively address the incident and ensure the person who reported (the complainant) receives full information on rights and resources.
  • The Office of Compliance and Civil Rights will also walk you through any obligations, if applicable, to report to law enforcement. As a general rule, and absent emergency situations or cases involving minors, employees should not disclose details of sex-based reports (e.g., rape) to the police without the consent of the complainant.
