I am a responsible employee

In my role as a teaching assistant, I am required by policy to report concerns that come to my attention related to sexual harassment, sexual violence, discrimination, or harassment involving students. Please know you are still free to discuss these concerns with me, but I will need to pass along any information shared with me to the Harassment and Discrimination Assistance and Prevention Program (HDAPP) so they can reach out to you and talk to you about resources and possible resolution options. If you would prefer to speak to a confidential resource, who does not have the same responsibility to report, I can help you get connected. Alternatively, here is a link to information about available resources on campus (including confidential resources): https://hdapp.ucdavis.edu/resources. Also, here is a link to information about reporting directly to HDAPP: https://hdapp.sf.ucdavis.edu/report-incident.
