- Complaints that are submitted anonymously will be reviewed; however, anonymity may limit the ability of the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards to investigate an incident fully.
- Complaints must include the name(s) of all known witnesses or others who may have information concerning the allegation of prohibited conduct and all known facts about the incident.
- There is no time limit by which complaints must be submitted after an incident. However, the ability of OSCCS to fully investigate an incident is impacted by how much time has elapsed since an incident occurred.

Other Reporting Options and Resources
Brown University students, staff and faculty who have experienced or witnessed an incident of discrimination or harassment are encouraged to report it to the University.
To encourage individuals to voice their concerns, Brown University has a non-emergency Anonymous Reporting Hotline; students, faculty and staff may call 877-318-9184 or report online. This hotline may be used to report behavior suspected to be inconsistent with University policies, potential fraud and other ethical and compliance concerns.
Brown’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) has options for emergency and non-emergency reporting, as well as a Silent Witness reporting form which allows you to anonymously provide DPS with valuable information about a crime or suspicious incident.
The University Ombuds provides confidential, neutral, independent, and informal assistance to faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students, and medical students who have concerns arising from or affecting their life at Brown. The office is a source of support for those who want to develop options for addressing a particular concern or who may wish to consider learning how to deal with issues on their own.
