Buckeyes STEP UP to stop harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct.

How to help your fellow Buckeyes

There are three ways you can intervene to stop misconduct:

1. Direct: Confront the situation by asking the person to stop or saying, "Hey, that's not cool."

2. Distract: Redirect the attention of those involved so the situation stops.

3. Delegate: Ask someone else to help to stop the situation.

If you or someone you know has been impacted, you can file a report here or use one of the three following ways to make a report to the university:
