Reporting Inappropriate Profile Pictures

This page has been developed in collaboration with the Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Equal Opportunity (CEEO) to provide guidance on how and when to report an inappropriate profile picture in UNM Canvas.

Before reporting a profile picture, here are some things to consider:

Photos that fall under the following categories should be reported:

• Self-harm or suicide
• Pornographic or obscene
• Sexual harassment
• Bullying
• Discrimination based on a protected status. Protected statuses at UNM include: age (40+), ancestry, national origin, color, race, gender/sex, gender identity, genetic information, medical condition, disability, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation, spousal affiliation, and veteran status.
• Violence or threats of violence to a person or the property of others

Photos that are offensive may not violate University policies. Please consider this before filing a report.

If you have further questions or would like to talk to someone before filing a complaint

• Visit the Student Code of Conduct.
• Set up a consultation with CEEO.
• Or email ceeo@unm.edu.

If you would like to report an inappropriate profile picture

For an immediate emergency, a person in crisis, or a dangerous situation, get to a safe place and call 911. Do not use the online reporting options for emergencies.

Complaints can be filed with the UNM Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Equal Opportunity (CEEO). The button below opens CEEO's reporting options, including separate reporting methods for discrimination or sexual misconduct and other types of misconduct.

Complaints may be made anonymously; however, it is important to provide as much detail as possible in your report (including screenshots or other visual evidence) so that the University can take appropriate action in accordance with University policies.

What happens once a report is made

Once a report is made, you may receive follow-up from the appropriate University office to gather more information or ask additional questions. The University reviews each report received and determines which office is best suited to address it. Because of privacy and confidentiality considerations, the University may be unable to share details about actions taken in response to a report.
