Deep Thoughts with the Dean...
Each week, I will be including information in the Viking Newsletter with the goal of sharing important resources, events, connection points, and areas of advocacy. I will be sharing similar information through @CSUDeanofStudents Instagram account.
This week, I want to focus on our reporting options. You may not be aware, but we have a one-stop spot for filing reports of concern. The Concerned Vikes page, found at https://www.csuohio.edu/report-a-concern/report-a-concern provides options for filing behavior concerns, CARE Reports, and anonymous reports. Visit the page and scroll down to review the different reporting types.
If we need to be aware of something, the Concerned Vikes page is a direct way to get the message to us. Submitting a report does not "get anyone in trouble" - it notifies the appropriate people at CSU so we can begin looking into concerns, offering support, and ensuring CSU is a safe, welcoming place for all. If you have any questions about filing reports or how those reports are reviewed, reach out to me via email at deanofstudents@csuohio.edu.
