Reports of protected status discrimination and harassment can be made to COCR in the following ways:

All members of the Cornell community also have the right to make a report to the Cornell University Police Department, local law enforcement, and/or state police or choose not to report; to be protected by Cornell from retaliation for reporting an incident; and to receive assistance and resources from Cornell.

Cornell provides a variety of options available to resolve reports of bias, discrimination, and harassment, so that each person may choose a path for response best suited to their particular situation.  Cornell’s procedures are intended to protect the rights of all parties and the community.
