Figures 12-13 depict EOA’s approach to employee reports of sexual misconduct. The vast majority of employee reports were resolved by providing involved parties with outreach, resources, and referrals. Through education, enforcement and accountability for these types of behaviors, we hope as an institution to reduce these incidents.

Discrepancies in the numbers between figures are due to reports having multiple complainants and/or respondents, which may allow for multiple outcomes on a case. EOA provides outreach and resource information to all complainants.
