Reporting to GVSU

If you have experienced, witnessed, or been impacted by sexual misconduct, harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation, you can report the incident to GVSU by contacting the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator by phone, email, or in person.  Reports can also be made any time (including during non-business hours) through GVSU's online reporting form.  Reporting does not obligate a Complainant to proceed with a resolution process. 

Once a report is received, the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator will promptly reach out to the Complainant and:

• discuss supportive measures available to ensure their safety and continued access to programs and activities GVSU offers (available regardless of whether the Complainant pursues university resolution);
• inform them of helpful resources on campus and in the community; and
• discuss options for university resolution.

Anonymous Disclosures of Sexual Misconduct

You may submit anonymous disclosures of sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct to GVSU's Office for Title IX and Institutional Equity. Through the online anonymous form, you can let us know of a concern, communicate with a member of our office, and access resources without revealing your identity.

Individuals who prefer to report concerns to GVSU anonymously can visit the Anonymous Reporting page.

The disclosure form is hosted by an independent, third-party vendor who provides secure, anonymous reporting services. 

If you are unable to access the anonymous reporting form for any reason, you may still anonymously submit a disclosure to the Office for Title IX and Institutional Equity. To do so by phone, you may call our office at (616) 331-9530 from a blocked number and withhold your name when you speak with one of our staff. Or, you may email our office at [email protected] from an email address that does not contain personally-identifying information. You may share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable.
