Reporting Misconduct at NAQT Events
NAQT has partnered with the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence and the Academic Competition Federation on a project spearheaded by PACE member (and NAQT writer) Alex Damisch to make reporting experiences with misconduct at tournaments less daunting. While we all sincerely hope that no one experiences behavior that makes them feel harassed or unwelcome at any tournament, we know that it can, and does, happen. These organizations are committed to making sure everyone feels safe, included, and respected during competitions.
