Anonymous Report

Report any concern anonymously to U-M IOE leadership. These anonymous reporting methods do not constitute the filing of a formal report. Examples of misconduct to report using this method may include negative faculty or staff interactions, discrimination, or patterns of microaggressions. U-M IOE welcomes all feedback using this method. The University may be limited in its ability to effectively address concerns reported anonymously and/or without sufficient information. 

Class evaluations are another way to share concerns about a specific course or instructor with that instructor and department leadership. This method is confidential, but not timely, so we also encourage you to report your concerns using other additional methods below.

After you create an anonymous report: The report will be reviewed by the individuals listed above, a course of action will be determined and carried out.

Confidential resources may be required to report non-identifying information to DPSS for crime reporting purposes." (The University of Michigan Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct, p.9)
