All employees, but particularly those who are likely to be in contact with students, should consider including their reporting status in their email signature box.

Suggested email/signature box language for Designated Reporters:

Designated Reporter: I am a Designated Reporter. which means that I am required to report all incidents of prohibited discrimination and harassment including sexual harassment and violence that I learn about to the UO Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance (OICRC). An OICRC team member will follow up with you to offer information, resources, and any available options for addressing what was reported. You can receive support without participating in a formal university process and without sharing additional information. Student agency is important to me and to the OICRC team.

Suggested email/signature box language for Confidential Employees:

Confidential Employee: I am a Confidential Employee, which means that I am not required to report disclosures of prohibited discrimination and harassment, including sexual violence or sexual harassment, that I hear about to university officials (unless a minor is involved) and will strive to protect your information from others to the extent permissible by law. And I will direct you to appropriate resources to help you. I will also ask you whether you want help reporting to the university.
