Baylor University prohibits unlawful Discrimination and Harassment against or by faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and contractors because of race, color, disability, national and ethnic origin, sex, pregnancy, age (over 40), genetic information or the refusal to submit to a genetic test, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, Texas, or local law except as otherwise provided under the Civil Rights Policy.  Baylor also prohibits Retaliation against any individual who engages in a Protected Activity.  View Baylor's Civil Rights Policy.

In An Emergency

Call 9-1-1 or the Baylor University Police Department at 254-710-2222.


Online Reporting

Report harassment or discrimination on the basis of protected characteristic(s).


Anonymous Option For Students And Third Parties

Report anonymously through Ethics Point. This third-party reporting feature offers an option to re-access a report to see responses from the Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX Office. Additional communication can also take place in the anonymous setting.


Reporting Requirements

Supervisors and Mandatory Reporters. All Supervisors and Equity staff who learn about alleged misconduct in the course and scope of their employment duties are required to report immediately to the Equity Office any information they know about suspected or potential violations of this Policy. Student-employees who have supervisory responsibility or responsibility for the welfare of other students and learn of potential violations of this policy in the scope of their employment (e.g., including but not limited to Campus Living & Learning Community Leaders, Resident Chaplains, Athletics Team Managers, Peer Educators, and Line Camp Leaders) are considered Mandatory Reporters. Failure by a Supervisor or Mandatory Reporter to report suspected or potential violations of this Policy in a timely manner may subject them to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. 

A Complainant may choose not to make a complaint or report in their own case, even if the Complainant would otherwise have reporting obligations by virtue of being a Supervisor or Mandatory Reporter.

Supervisors must take immediate and appropriate corrective action when they know or should know Discrimination or Harassment is occurring. This can take various forms of intervention and, depending upon the circumstance, will involve the Equity Office and the Office of Human Resources. For example, if a Supervisor overhears a discriminatory or harassing conversation, the Supervisor must report that to the Equity Office. The supervisor should also step in and stop the inappropriate conversation while it is ongoing. If the Supervisor learns that such a conversation occurred in the past, the Supervisor must immediately report it to the Equity Office. Failure by a Supervisor to take immediate and appropriate corrective action when they know or should know that Discrimination or Harassment based on Protected Characteristics is occurring may subject them to discipline, up to and including termination of employment, and/or potential civil liability.
