Keep Harvard a safe place to live, learn, and work
Harvard University depends on our employees to conduct business with integrity and adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. By voicing concerns when we encounter actual or potential violations of our community’s values, we can help to maintain a healthy and safe environment. To support individuals in speaking up, Harvard University has established an Anonymous Reporting Hotline for reporting ethical, integrity, safety, security, and compliance concerns anonymously.
Anonymous Reporting Hotline
The Anonymous Reporting Hotline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are two ways to report: you can submit a report online or call the toll-free number to speak with an operator: +1 (877) 694-2275. The hotline may be used by anyone, anywhere in the world when speaking to a supervisor or other available resource is not considered to be a comfortable or viable option.
