Notice or reports of discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation may be made using any of the following options:

1. File a report with the Office of Civil Rights & Accessibility (OCRA) directly
   1. Such a report may be made during business hours by:
      1. Calling the OCRA Office Phone: 385.248.5513
      2. Giving verbal notice to a member of OCRA
   2. Or at any time (including during non-business hours) by:
      1. Calling RMU’s discrimination hotline: 385.375.8344
      2. Emailing ocra@rm.edu
      3. Mailing a physical letter addressed to the OCRA at the mailing address for the University

2. Report online, using the reporting form posted below.
   1. Anonymous reports are accepted but can give rise to a need to investigate. The University attempts to provide supportive measures to all Complainants, which is impossible with an anonymous report. Reporting carries no obligation to initiate a formal response unless there is a compelling threat to health and/or safety.
3. Contact a Mandated Reporter
   1. A Mandated Reporter is an employee of the University who is obligated by policy to share knowledge, notice, and/or reports of harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation with the Office of Civil Rights and Accessibility (OCRA). At Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions, only those who are considered Officials with Authority are designated as Mandated Reporters. This includes:
      1. 1. University Administration (President, Provost, Chief of Staff, etc.)
         2. Deans, Program Directors and Department Chairs
         3. Supervisory roles in Academic and Administrative Departments
         4. Faculty (only considered Mandated Reporters for cases involving one or more students)

1. If a Complainant expects formal action in response to their allegations, reporting to any Mandated Reporter can connect them with resources to report crimes and/or policy violations, and these employees will immediately pass reports to the OCRA (and/or police, if desired by the Complainant), who will take action when an incident is reported to them.
2. Complainants may want to carefully consider how much personal information they share with Mandated Reporters, as all details of a report must be shared with the OCRA.

The University respects reporting individual’s wishes to avoid taking formal action in response to a report or requests to dismiss formal complaints unless there is a compelling threat to health and/or safety. As a result, the reporting individual is largely in control and should not fear a loss of privacy by reporting.
