The conference adheres to the wide range of policies, educational programs, resources, support, and reporting systems to respond to complaints of sexual misconduct established by the University of Pennsylvania. View the University of Pennsylvania Sexual Misconduct Policy, Resource Offices and Complaint Procedures to find the full Penn policy or information about campus resource offices, including the Office of the Associate Vice President for Equity and Title IX Officer. The University and Penn GSE take reports of incidents of sexual harassment seriously. We recognize the importance of cultivating an inclusive community and recognize the serious damage incidents of sexual misconduct cause, not only to the individuals involved but the community as a whole. In addition to making a formal report, there are options to seek support and advice from confidential resources. These University, community, and national resources are available on the Penn Violence Prevention Campus Resources webpage.
