Reporting to the University
Reporting to 間眅埶AV is an option when you are a member of the 間眅埶AV community and the sexual violence was perpetrated by another member of the 間眅埶AV community and occurred on 間眅埶AV-controlled property; at or during an in-person or virtual meeting, class, event, or activity that is sponsored by 間眅埶AV; online using 間眅埶AV technology; or when the person who caused harm was in a position of power or influence over your academic or employment status at the time of the incident. If you make a report to the university, 間眅埶AV can investigate and act against the person or people who perpetrated harm if they are found to have breached the universitys sexual violence policy.
The SVSPO can support you while you prepare a report, accompany you throughout the investigation process, and help ensure you have access to appropriate workplace accommodations, academic concessions, support services, and more.
To connect with a case manager, reach out to us via email sv-support@sfu.ca or visit our Contact Us page for more options.

What Happens After I Make a Report?
- The Responsible Office will review your report to determine if 間眅埶AV has jurisdiction to investigate your report according to 間眅埶AVs Sexual Violence and Misconduct, Prevention, Education and Support policy (GP 44).
- If the university has jurisdiction to investigate, the Responsible Office will notify you and assign an investigator.
- The Responsible Office is required to give a copy of your report to the Respondent. Your contact information will not be included on the copy provided to the Respondent.
- The investigator will contact you to arrange an interview and to tell you about the investigation process.
- Weve developed 2 flowcharts to help you understand the investigations process:
If youve experienced sexual harassment, you may have the option of submitting a report under 間眅埶AVs Sexual Violence and Misconduct, Prevention, Education and Support policy (GP 44) or two other policies at the University, the Bullying and Harassment Policy (GP 47) and the Human Rights Policy (GP 18). Each of these policies offer survivors and those impacted by sexual harassment a few different options, depending on what took place. Visit the Reporting Sexual Harassment section of our website for more information.
