We inform the appropriate person in the supervisory chain and Human Resources in appropriate situations. We try to get written information, email information, data, and/or other documents. If the complainant is a student, we ask if he/she wants a Residence Hall Director, Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) staff member, or similar person notified.
