- SafeCampus
- In the upcoming season, we may see an increase in online harassment. SafeCampus continues to be available if you or someone you know is targeted. There are many kinds of online harassment, from the annoying (rude comments made by online trolls) to the invasive (doxing), to the potentially dangerous and traumatic (cyberstalking, threats of violence, hate speech, and beyond). UW staff, faculty, and students may be targeted because of a belief they share in a classroom, a political position they hold, or their research area. You do not have to deal with the situation alone. Reach out to SafeCampus for caring consultation and resources at 206-685-7233 or visit their online harassment resources page.
