Reporting Discriminatory Incidents

Reporting Discriminatory Incidents

The Cell Biology Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is committed to facilitating a safe, anonymous, and accountable pipeline for reporting incidents of discrimination. Please see below the current reporting pipeline in and beyond our Department. Please review our Cell Biology Zero-Tolerance Policy for Discrimination for further details and examples of discriminatory incidents.

Reporting in the Cell Biology Department

Any discriminatory incidents (discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, social status, mental or physical disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc) should be reported to the Departmental Mediator Dr. Blanche Capel (blanche.capel@duke.edu) ), Chair Dr. Scott Soderling (scott.soderling@duke.edu), or DGS Dr. Stefano Di Talia (stefano.ditalia@duke.edu). The Department encourages reporting of incidents from bystanders.

If needed, the Department will forward the incident to the Duke Office of Institutional Equity for official reporting and investigation.

Anonymous Reporting of Discriminatory Incidents in the Cell Biology Department

If preferred, discriminatory incidents can be reported to the Ombudsperson and Chair completely anonymously using the form below. Please fill in the information in the form: Anonymous Form for the Reporting of Discriminatory Incidents in Cell Biology.
