Responding to Disclosures: 

First and foremost, respond with empathy and care. Disclose whether you have a reporting obligation and connect the individual to appropriate resources. The Responding to Disclosures document contains helpful information about responding to disclosures.  This Our Community Matters resource guide contains helpful information and is a good resource to provide to individuals who come to you with concerns.

Requirement to Report Concerns

Beginning in fall 2025, all non-confidential U-M employees (including faculty, staff and student employees) are required to share information with ECRT. Confidential Resources—offices or individuals who do not have reporting obligations—continue to be designated under the policies.

Confidential resources include employees with the Faculty and Staff Counseling and Consultation Office (FASCCO), university ombuds (for students, staff, and faculty), and Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS).

Employees may, but do not have to, report disclosures when they happen under certain, generally uncommon, scenarios such as at a sexual assault awareness community event, general classroom discussion, or institutional review board (IRB) approved research project. Learn more about .

Failure by an employee to promptly report to ECRT information they receive about alleged prohibited conduct is a violation of policy, and may result in disciplinary action.

Once a report is made, ECRT will reach out to the Complainant, the person making the report or reported to have experienced the behavior, to offer resources, support and information about possible next steps, including how to file a formal complaint.
