Anyone can make a report of SVSH to OPHD. As illustrated in Figure 11, the majority of SVSH reports made to OPHD in FY24 were from "Responsible Employees," namely UC Berkeley employees who, under the SVSH Policy, are required to share with OPHD any information they learn about a student experiencing SVSH (managers and supervisors have additional reporting responsibilities). This continues a pattern seen in recent years, and is attributed to increased awareness of the importance of reporting SVSH incidents to the university.
The second highest source of SVSH reports to OPHD came from complainants themselves, with a small number of reports coming from anonymous or unknown reporters, or as referrals (with complainant's permission) from confidential resources.
