This page contains resources for people in need of leads. I can't vouch for the entirety of any individual site or whether they can help you, but some of them have been helpful to me. Although the majority of sites listed here are "progressive" I don't mean to espouse any particular political ideology. These are sites I came across which had some merit or worth to me so I listed them here for anyone who like myself is searching for help. It is in no firm order as I add links where I find them, or they find me. If nothing else I hope you can contact someone who can put you in touch with someone else. Good luck.

There is an internal organization called The Office of Diversity and Equity at UCONN which conducts internal investigations of matters involving harassment, discrimination and abuse on campus, but I cannot reccomend them. It was my experience with them that they were there merely to function as a buffer against bad press and lawsuits for the school. They dismissed my matter and attempted to sweep it under the rug and I have been told by lawyers familiar with the school that this is typical at UCONN. It is amazing that a school with so many minority contributions in so many areas like the mens and women's basketball teams, the football team, departments like mathematics and the sciences and so many other areas that when a minority or woman on campus experiences problems they are treated like second class citizens. It is truly shameful of UCONN and deserves to be investigated further.
