Filing a complaint

This purpose of this page is to allow Washburn University students, faculty, staff, and visitors to report discrimination as quickly as possible. Details about the type of behavior that may be considered discriminatory (e.g., harassment, sexual violence) and prohibited can be found within the Non-Discrimination - (Harassment, Sexual violence, and Retaliation) Policy.  Washburn University's complaint process can be found below under the heading 'There are a number of ways to file a complaint.' Complaints may be filed in person, electronically, or by U.S. Postal Service; choose the option that is best for you. Complaints can be filed by the person who experiences the discriminatory behavior or someone who observes the behavior.

If you experience or if you observe behavior that places you or another individual in danger, CALL 911 or WASHBURN UNIVERISTY POLICE at 785.670.1300.
