As part of its commitment to providing a learning environment free from discrimination and harassment and in support of the Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy, Brown University appoints and maintains a Campus Climate Response Team (CCRT).
The CCRT is responsible for monitoring and assessing campus climate and developing, coordinating, and implementing strategies, interventions, training, and education to address as needed campus climate challenges and concerns. Members provide subject matter expertise as needed in the assessment of reports and/or complaints. The team meets on a regular basis to review and assess de-identified information regarding campus climate to carry out its responsibilities. The team assesses, monitors and determines any trends and informs the campus community of significant developments as appropriate.
Campus Climate is the system of cultural meanings, social norms, and shared experiences that bind together the campus and ensure the proper functioning of a diverse and inclusive living-learning community. Disruptions of campus climate inhibit the regular function of the campus. To streamline reporting, the discrimination and harassment reporting form includes an option to report concerns about behavior you believe to be having an impact on the campus community but may not constitute discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that would be subject to resolution or discipline pursuant to the Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy. This form is for your ease of use and you are not required to use it either to report campus climate concerns or to report alleged discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
