Can I report anonymously?

• Reports can be submitted through EthicsPoint  anonymously. Reports submitted to EthicsPoint will be forwarded to the proper university officers for review. Persons making reports are not required to provide their names.

Are reports confidential?

• Confidentiality is maintained as far as reasonably possible while also ensuring a thorough investigation that is fair to all parties. 

• Many offices have constraints upon levels of confidentiality. There are departments on campus that hold treatment and therapeutic levels of confidentiality standards that are only relaxed if safety to self or others is not present.

  The following offices have a higher standard of confidentiality:

What if a complaint is made about a faculty or staff member? What does the fact-finding process entail?

• There are formal and informal fact-finding methods. Some might be informal questions on non-policy issues, such as sending an email to find out where there may be a miscommunication or misunderstanding between a faculty member and a student on a grading issue. Others might lead to a more formal investigation, such as those outlined in policy-outlined processes (see, for instance, Policy 162). You can find further information on general practices at Participants Fact Finding Guide and you are always welcome to contact the appropriate offices for further clarification.
