Physics Department, Climate and Diversity Committee
The Physics Department strives to establish, maintain, and improve an open-minded and supportive community in which to work, teach and learn. In accordance with these goals, the Physics Department affirms that all community members are to be treated with dignity and respect and that discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated. Moreover, the department is dedicated to partnering with other campus organizations, including those listed below, to develop policies and practices to promote these goals.

Dean of Students: Report an Incident
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all people. As Chapter 17 of the UW System code states, the university can accomplish its educational mission only if living and learning environments are safe and free from violence, harassment, and intimidation.
The purpose of the reporting system is to provide support and resources to the involved parties of bias or hate incidents impacting the UW-Madison community. This system allows the University to understand and respond to situations that affect UW-Madison students, educate and inform the community about such events, and create awareness of intolerance as it relates to bias or hate incidents.
Services: Report hate or bias, drop-in appointments (in-person or virtual), report a student of concern, report an academic complaint, DACA recipient support
