Anonymous Reporting

We recognize that the decision to report incidents can be difficult at times and require one to consider numerous factors within our community. Nevertheless, Tulane encourages all faculty, staff, and students to report any potential violations of Tulane’s EO policy. To assist those who may not feel comfortable identifying themselves, but have valid good-faith concerns, we allow for anonymous reporting. Please know that anonymous reports are taken as seriously as any other type of report, but Tulane’s ability to respond may be limited.
