Filing a Report Online
Report an Incident (deanza.edu)
De Anza College has adopted the online case-tracking and reporting system called Maxient, replacing the Advocate system that was used previously. The new system will provide a record of incidents and situations that the Student Judicial Affairs team can use to follow up and resolve cases effectively.
Maxient provides separate online forms for different types of reports or requests. Click each of the following for more information and a link to the appropriate form:
- Student code of conduct violations
- Sexual harassment, violence or misconduct – including relationship violence, threats or stalking
- Worrisome or threatening behaviors
- COVID-19 exposure
Office of Equity Mission Statement
The Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education promotes — through programs and services — an academic, cultural and social environment that provides equity, social justice and academic success for all members of the De Anza College campus community. It supports the district and college missions, which consider diversity an essential component of student education in the 21st century.
The Equity Office takes this charge seriously. We have expanded our mission of fostering a climate of healthy diversity that values individual and group differences and respects the perspectives of others by working to eliminate institutional oppression or barriers that perpetuate inequity, injustice, and mono-cultural education.
Stay Connected!
All of us in the academy and in the culture as a whole are called to renew our minds if we are to transform educational institutions-and society-so that the way we live, teach, and work can reflect our joy in cultural diversity, our passion for justice, and our love of freedom.
