Description

Electronic database used to record information relating to general inquiries addressed to the Harassment Resolution Office. The database was created in the summer of 1998 as part of a new record-keeping system designed to support the University's 1998 Harassment Policy.

An inquiry is distinguished from a complaint of harassment in that it is a request for information without reference to any incident(s) of alleged harassment. It may be a request for information about the Harassment Policy or the Harassment Resolution Office from a member of the University community or from an individual or organization off-campus.

The database is used to track inquiries and staff responses. In this way it functions as an information resource tool which provides continuity to Office practice, regardless of staff change over time. It is also used to facilitate the tabulation and publication of statistics and reports of inquiries and staff resources dedicated to inquiries relating to harassment issues.
