OHSU Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Resources
OHSU has a variety of avenues to pursue for those who experience harassment or discrimination in the workplace.
If you ever feel that you have been the target of discrimination or unfair treatment, you are always welcome to discuss with program leadership and the chiefs (please note that we are all mandatory reporters). If you prefer to discuss any concerns outside of the program or anonymously, please see the below options:
- OCIC (Office of Civil Rights Investigations and Compliance), formerly AAEO (Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity): https://www.ohsu.edu/affirmative-action-and-equal-opportunity
- Find the OCIC reporting form HERE -- email to ocic@ohsu.edu
- CAP Program (Confidential Advocacy Program, the advocates in the CAP program are not mandatory reporters so your information will remain with them unless you ask that it be moved forward): https://www.ohsu.edu/confidential-advocacy-program
- The Integrity Hotline (anonymous): https://www.ohsu.edu/integrity-department
- OHSU Ombuds (offer a safe and confidential place to speak off-the-record): https://www.ohsu.edu/ombuds
In addition, you can reference this list of phrases to use if you experience or witness discrimination or harassment.

VA Process
The VA has a separate workflow if you experience harassment or discrimination.
If you experience discrimination at the VA, you are encouraged to report it through the “Disruptive Behavior Reporting System.” This is located on the main VA Sharepoint when you open Microsoft Edge. You must be on a VA computer in order to access it.
