EQUITY POLICIES
Procedures for responding to instances of harassment or discrimination may be specific to an individual's category at the university, i.e. as a member of the faculty, staff, or student body.  Procedures applicable to members of the faculty are included in the Faculty Handbook and procedures applicable to students are in the Student Handbook.  Staff should contact the the Special Assistant for Equity Programs (Vilas G1) for information about procedures.
