COPH strives to provide a positive, inclusive environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. The school embodies the core values of excellence, respect, integrity, diversity and cooperation. Mistreatment, either intentional or unintentional, occurs when behavior shows disrespect for the dignity of others and unreasonably interferes with the learning process. Examples of mistreatment include:
Sexual harassment
Discrimination or harassment based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation
Humiliation
Psychological or physical punishment
Use of grading and other forms of assessment in a punitive manner
To report mistreatment, witnessed or experienced, there is no single pathway and in fact there are multiple pathways.
Some people just want someone who can listen, while others want to engage in mediation or file a formal complaint.
Learners, staff, or faculty who believe they’ve experienced or witnessed mistreatment are strongly encouraged to report it through the Mistreatment Incident Report Form.
If you are uncomfortable discussing concerns with your department chair, supervisor or another member of management and wish to remain anonymous, call the UNM Compliance hotline or file a report using the web reporting tool.
