For Faculty Members Being Targeted
Reporting and First Steps
- If you or those close to you are in imminent physical danger or there has been a direct threat of physical violence, call 911 immediately. If there is no immediate physical threat, but you have received a threat to your personal safety through emails, phone calls, online posts, or other means, you should report it through UVA Just Report It.
- Document what you’re experiencing. Save any relevant voicemails, emails, and text messages, and take screenshots or photos of social media postings that include coercive, intimidating, or harassing content.
- Contact your department chair or supervisor and inform them of the situation. Ask them to review the information in For Chairs & Academic Unit Heads.
