Protection from RetaliationState and federal laws and university policies protect against retaliation for reporting prohibited discrimination and harassment, filing a complaint of prohibited discrimination or harassment, or participating in the investigation of such a complaint. Retaliation is a serious offense that can result in disciplinary action. This protection exists even if a complaint is eventually dismissed or is deemed to lack merit. (It does not follow that intentionally false accusations will be tolerated; a person will be held accountable for making intentionally false claims of prohibited discrimination or harassment.) Colleagues who assist others in raising a complaint of prohibited discrimination or harassment by offering advice and moral support, or by giving testimony or documentary evidence in support of a complaint, are similarly protected.
