State and federal enforcement agencies include:

Reporting discrimination is considered a "protected activity" by law. That means that no one can take action against a person for reporting discrimination or participating as a witness in an investigation. Contact EDI if you have any concerns about possible retaliation.
In addition to the Discrimination and Harassment reporting procedure, members of the UB community can report bias-related incidents pertaining to intolerant behaviors based on a person's race, national origin, sexual orientation or other protected factor.
