While working or learning in remote environments, please be mindful of the following: 

OCR9 remains open and operational. Anyone impacted by sex/gender discrimination or any other unlawful discrimination within the university environment is encouraged to make a report http://fau.edu/report/ or call our office as phones have been forwarded.  Investigations may be conducted remotely through Skype, Microsoft Teams, or other means as deemed practicable.

University regulations and policies on unlawful discrimination and sexual misconduct apply to behaviors that occur online (http://www.fau.edu/policies/policiesregulations.php). Any behavior that is prohibited by policy is also prohibited in cyber-forms, including cyber-harassment, cyber-bullying that is based on a protected class, and cyber-stalking.

If you have an ongoing case and have any questions, reach out to the assigned investigator.  If you do not receive a response, please contact the main OCR9 Office number at 561-297-3004 and leave a message in the general mailbox.
