The University Panel on Discrimination and Sexual Harassment is composed of trained,
experienced, and accessible members of the Columbia community. Members of the Panel provide an informal, impartial, non-adversarial setting in which problems can be addressed through confidential counseling or mediation. Any student may approach any Panelist to discuss his or her concerns and seek advice. The Panelist may also meet with persons other than the student to ascertain facts relevant to appropriate resolution of the complaint or to seek an informal resolution to situations in which there are allegations of discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or sexual harassment.  Discussions with Panelists are confidential and do not constitute notice to the University. A list of the current Panelists may be found online at: www.columbia.edu/cu/vpaa/eoaa/docs/shpanel.html.
