If you need help with anything, you can contact either:

• Stephen Kargère, kargere@fas.harvard.edu, Director of the FAS Postdoc Office, or
• The Cambridge Ombuds Office. The Ombuds Office is a confidential resource available to anyone from Harvard’s community. A discussion with an Ombuds can help a visitor voice concerns, clarify goals, and consider options so that they can make their own best decisions about next steps. Any issue affecting one’s work or studies may be brought to an Ombuds. 

Both of these resources can help with issues involving power-based harassment and other misconduct by individuals who hold supervisory or other authority over others, including bullying, retaliation, or hostile working conditions, that is not covered in the other policies that are the subject of this process, but which nonetheless may be abusive and/or intimidating to members of the Harvard community.

In addition, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy educational and work environment in which no member of the FAS community is, on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any University program or activity. Please see here for additional resources on issues Sexual & Gender-Based Harassment Policy/Resources in the FAS and beyond.

Finally, the University has launched a centralized landing page of support resources for times of crisis located here.
