Reporting Concerns

The University of Notre Dame is a place of teaching and research, of scholarship and publication, of service and community. As such, we are committed to a speak-up culture that promotes inclusion, integrity, and safety. Those who have concerns or who see something that raises questions should bring their concerns and questions forward, using one of the channels described below.

If you see something, say something.

How to Report

For University Employees:

If you have a concern and feel comfortable sharing it with your supervisor or another administrator, this can be a good place to begin.

For Notre Dame Students, Faculty, and Staff:

Contact the Office of Institutional Equity

The Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) is committed to promoting an equitable educational and work environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Anyone who experiences, observes, or learns about possible acts of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation can report such acts to OIE to learn about potential avenues to address and rectify the matter.
