Anonymous Reporting
Both the ObservNow and Incident Report functions in Scishield offer an option to submit reports anonymously.
The university also offers a system for observations of wrongdoing or concerns that someone has violated the law or university policies. You may report any concern anonymously using the Rice University Ethics Line, which is managed by the third-party vendor Ethics Point. Reports may be submitted anonymously and confidentially in English, Spanish, and many other languages. Reports will be directed to the appropriate University official for investigation. Reports will not be directed to any individual who is named within the report.
