Whether it’s a feeling that cheating might have taken place, or something more serious, misconduct is typically handled one of two ways: Academic or Non-Academic. The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards are the people who help guide faculty, staff, and students through these situations.

Other various types of reporting may involve bias or hate incidents, sexual assault, hazing, stalking, missing student, dating/domestic violence, or student of concern. Making a report and finding support are accessible through the Student Affairs Office.

Within the Department of Soil Science two individuals have volunteered to serve as points-of-contact for individuals to share concerns or receive on-campus and off-campus resources regarding harassment, intimidation, bias, or abuse. These individuals include a faculty member, Zac Freedman, and staff member, Julie Garvin¹.
