Consultation & Reporting
Religious and Ethnic Bias Reporting
To ensure uniformity and fairness, OREI is the initial University-wide point of contact for relevant reports related to discrimination, including harassment, based on actual or perceived: (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics; or (ii) citizenship or residency in a country with a dominant religion or distinct religious identity.
Any current member of the Penn community (students, faculty, staff, or post-doctoral trainees with a valid PennKey) may request a consultation or submit a report.
A consultation is an opportunity to meet with a member of the OREI team to discuss an area of concern.

A report may initiate an investigation by OREI, which will result in information gathering and a determination of findings.
