About the Anonymous Report Form

Western Oregon University takes issues of sexual violence and relationship violence very seriously. This form is used to understand the campus climate at WOU, to gather information regarding the incidences of sexual and dating violence of our students on or around campus, and to help WOU staff plan a response to violence in our campus community.

It is not necessary for you to be a survivor to complete this form.
