This form provides students, employees, faculty, vendors, visitors, or others with an on-line method to file a formal complaint of alleged incidents of discrimination or harassment (including sexual misconduct) with JMU.  In filing this complaint, you will be referred to as the complainant.  The person or organization against whom the complaint is made will be referred to as the respondent.

This report is sent directly to JMU’s Office of Equal Opportunity unless this is a report of sexual misconduct.  Reports of sexual misconduct will be sent directly to the Title IX Office.  The appropriate office will use the information provided in this report to begin an investigation, which may include contacting you, the respondent, and/or any potential witnesses. The investigation and response may be limited if the report does not contain specific information. 

If you are a third party, i.e., not the complainant, and would like to make a report of non-sexual harassment please use the Not @ JMU Form. For third party reporting of sexual misconduct, please use the Title IX Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form.
