fellows, staff or faculty who would benefit from consultation and support in navigating challenging situations. Ombudspersons are PBS members who are trained in official policies and procedures and the resources available. Ombudspersons will provide support, resources, and help the person identify a course of action that works for them.</p></div><div class="text" xmlns:jx="jsx"><h3>Access Support Options</h3><p><a href="https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8BWlpkZvIm0Hh6m">Use the Ombudsperson forms</a> to share feedback about experiences in the department and/or because you’ve experienced something that is troubling. If the latter, these situations can be tough to navigate, and often the next step isn’t clear. The Ombudsperson Committee’s goal is to empower you to make an informed decision, even if you don’t want to pursue further action.</p> <p><a href="https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8BWlpkZvIm0Hh6m">When you click this link</a>, you’ll be taken to a form where you have opportunities to record your experiences, and to provide contact information if you wish to. Specifically, there will be two options provided:</p> <ul> <li>A Support Request Form and</li> <li>An Anonymous Feedback Form</li> </ul> <p>In the Support Request Form, you will provide your contact information and <strong>select your preferred ombudsperson</strong>. In the Anonymous Feedback Form, you may describe whatever you’d like us to know without identifying yourself.</p> <p>Be aware that <strong>in certain circumstances, information may need to be shared with the Office of Institutional Equity</strong>. More information about that in the form.</p> <p>If, after reading the Informed Consent section in the form, you decide not to continue, simply close the window and no information will be saved.</p> <p>As general resources, consider referring to and bookmarking the <a href="https://college.indiana.edu/about/diversity-inclusion/resources/index.html">IUB Office of Diversity & Inclusion Resources Page</a> and/or download the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o05pR6n8-u_2G2tRvKekhZYnRry-sLcrZfGCOSjk67Y/edit">Ombuds Committee members contact information, Graduate students resource page</a>, and/or <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gjWX7RcqXT02C4FWyO_0Pje-FJqG0NNh/view?usp=sharing">Faculty, staff, and research personnel resource page</a>.</p> <p>Below is information about how the Ombudsperson Committee Form will be used.

You may lean toward this route if you want to share feedback of any kind about the department and/or because you don't want anyone to say anything to anyone else. This reporting mechanism is the only way to ensure that your identity is hidden and (in the cases of sexual misconduct, discrimination, or harassment) that no one has the ability to mandatorily report your identity.</p> <p>However, this option has certain limitations. First and foremost, potential advocates may not be empowered to act on your behalf. Further, if you decide to remain anonymous, we can’t ask follow-up questions to better understand your needs and/or how to prevent similar incidents in the future. Sometimes, without this contextual information, we do not know enough to take action to remedy and/or prevent the situation.</p> <p>Lastly, we may still be held to mandatory reporting standards, even without your identity. If you identify specific people who engage in behaviors of discrimination, harassment, and/or sexual misconduct, we may be required to report this to the Office of Institutional Equity. Other mandated reporting policies (e.g., <a href="https://protect.iu.edu/iu-police-department/report/index.html">child abuse/neglect</a>) also apply to anonymous submissions.</p></dd><dt aria-controls="panel-0-6" aria-selected="false" id="title-0-6" role="tab" tabindex="0">What if you don't want anything about your situation shared with anyone at this time?</dt><dd aria-expanded="true" aria-hidden="false" aria-labelledby="title-0-6" class="content" id="panel-0-6" role="tabpanel"><p>If you meet with us and tell us about a situation covered by the <a href="http://policies.iu.edu/policies/ua-03-discrimination-harassment-and-sexual-misconduct/index.html">IU Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Policy</a>, we may be required to report to the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE).

If you let us know about sexual misconduct, OIE will be made aware of the identified parties, such that your situation will be handled by OIE rather than anyone in PBS. Whether you are referred to OIE by someone or self-refer, OIE will begin by listening to your description of the situation without officially opening a case file. Depending on the situation, they may or may not open a case file. They are trained to handle all situations sensitively, take your wishes and concerns into consideration, and help you navigate next steps.</p></dd><dt aria-controls="panel-0-8" aria-selected="false" id="title-0-8" role="tab" tabindex="0">What protections do you have against retaliation?</dt><dd aria-expanded="true" aria-hidden="false" aria-labelledby="title-0-8" class="content" id="panel-0-8" role="tabpanel"><p>Retaliation is prohibited by the <a href="https://policies.iu.edu/policies/ua-03-discrimination-harassment-and-sexual-misconduct/index.html">IU Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Policy</a>. With the exception of mandated reporting situations (see above), the ombudsperson you choose to speak with will keep your identity out of any conversations they have with the rest of the Ombudsperson Committee and/or any other parties, unless you permit them to identify you. Your ombudsperson will operate on a “need to know” basis to reduce the number of people involved in attempts to resolve your concern(s), and may consult others (e.g., University Coordinator) using de-identified hypothetical scenarios.</p></dd><dt aria-controls="panel-0-9" aria-selected="false" id="title-0-9" role="tab" tabindex="0">What happens to information submitted through the Ombudsperson Committee Form?</dt><dd aria-expanded="true" aria-hidden="false" aria-labelledby="title-0-9" class="content" id="panel-0-9" role="tabpanel"><p>The information will be stored securely within Qualtrics.
