There are a variety of different reporting obligations that are required of UW-Madison employees. Some obligations apply to all employees and others depend on your position within the university. For example, you may be designated as a Responsible Employee (“RE”) because your position on campus is one that students, co-workers or visitors see as a trusted representative of the university. As an RE, you have an important duty to ensure victims of sexual harassment and sexual violence are properly connected to resources and reporting options.
