Creating a Positive Learning Environment
Ethical and compliant behavior that reflects our community’s values is essential to providing a safe and secure environment for all members of our community. It is important for the well-being of all who are involved with the University as well as the well-being of the University. In fact, voicing your concerns is a gift to the University.
To encourage individuals to voice their concerns, Harvard University established the Anonymous Reporting Hotline and website which provides the opportunity to report concerns in an anonymous manner. This hotline may be used to report a variety of ethical, integrity, safety, security, and compliance concerns and may be used by anyone including, but not limited to, students, faculty, postdocs, staff, patients, vendors, contractors and visitors, anywhere in the world.
