Individuals who have personally experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation are not required to report to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access (EOA) or to any other entity.

In compliance with the Oregon Workplace Fairness Act, OSU is required to notify employees of the following:
- An individual who pursues legal action against OSU based on alleged unlawful employment practice prohibited by ORS 659A.030, 659A.082 or 659A.112 (unlawful discrimination or sexual assault) must do so no later than five (5) years after the occurrence of the alleged unlawful employment practice;
- OSU may not require or coerce a former, current, or prospective employee to enter into a nondisclosure or nondisparagement agreement that has the purpose or effect of preventing the individual from disclosing or discussing conduct prohibited by ORS 659A.030, 659A.082 or 659A.112 (unlawful discrimination or sexual assault) when that conduct occurred between employees or between an employer and an employee in the workplace or at certain work-related events; or that occurred between an employer and an employee off the employment premises, except,
- When an employee claiming to be aggrieved by unlawful conduct requests to enter into a settlement, separation, or severance agreement which contains a nondisclosure, nondisparagement, or “no-rehire” provision and will have seven (7) calendar days to revoke the agreement; or
- If an employer makes a good faith determination that an employee has engaged in conduct prohibited by ORS 659A.030, ORS 659A.082 or 659A.112.
- The Office of Equal Opportunity and Access (EOA) documents any reports made to it that involve potential unlawful discrimination or sexual assault. Employees are encouraged to promptly report concerns to EOA or to otherwise document any incidents involving conduct that may constitute unlawful discrimination or sexual assault. Almost all employees are required by OSU policy to immediately report allegations of sexual misconduct of which they become aware.
As defined by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries:
- A nondisclosure agreement is any agreement by which one or more parties agree not to discuss or disclose information regarding any complaint of work-related harassment, discrimination, or sexual assault, including the amount or terms of a settlement.
- A nondisparagement agreement is any agreement by which one or more parties agree not to discredit or make negative or disparaging written or oral statements about any other party or the company.
- A no-rehire provision is an agreement that prohibits an employee from seeking reemployment with the company and allows a company to not rehire that individual in the future.
