The School of Architecture and Planning is committed to fostering inclusion, equity, and justice. It is the responsibility of our entire school community to report incidents of harassment, discrimination, or mistreatment in any form.
As outlined in the UB Discrimination and Harassment Policy, retaliation against anyone who reports discrimination, participates or assists in an investigation, or opposes a discriminatory act, practice, or policy is unlawful and is prohibited. Retaliation is not tolerated and may result in a referral to the university's disciplinary process.
If you ever feel you are being threatened or are in danger, or you witness someone else being threatened or in danger, immediately contact the University Police at (716) 645-2222.
In an effort to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and collegial environment, the School of Architecture and Planning promotes the following options and resources for reporting:
The University makes a clear distinction between bias-related incidents prompted by intolerant behaviors and illegal discrimination or discriminatory harassment based on protected factors including but not limited to sex, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, and veteran status. Matters of discrimination and harassment are handled by the Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. If you believe you have been discriminated against or harassed based on a factor listed in UB's Discrimination and Harassment Policy, or if you witnessed discrimination or harassment of others, contact the Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, 406 Capen Hall, at 716-645-2266 for an appointment to report an incident. You may call the office anonymously if you would prefer not to give your name. The investigatory process is outlined in full on the EDI website.
