Confidential Reporting of Crimes

A crime can be reported anonymously to the EPD TIPS line 404.727.8477, or through the Emory Trust Line 888.550.8850 https://emorytrustline.com.

A student may request anonymity in reporting a crime to a Residence Life staff member, to the Dean of Campus Life, or to any other Campus Security Authority. In cases of reports of sexual violence or sexual misconduct covered by Title IX, anonymity cannot be guaranteed in all instances. The student will be encouraged to make an official police report, but if the student elects not to or is unable to make such a report, the Campus Security Authority should file a report of the incident directly to EPD or via the online Emory CSA Incident Report Form without identifying the complainant, so that it can be included in the statistical section of this Report.


Except as otherwise specifically disclosed or unless consent is obtained in a particular instance, if a report of a crime is made to a “pastoral counselor” or “professional counselor” as those terms are defined in the Regulations, and a person has requested confidentiality, no report that includes the names of individuals involved will be made to the Office of Clery Act Compliance. However, a counselor may provide a de-identified (anonymous) report containing information about an incident to the Director of Clery Act Compliance for statistical reporting purposes, provided the counselor so informs the person making the report in advance of receiving information. Pastoral and professional counselors may, in their professional discretion, suggest that a person file an official police report and may obtain consent from the person to disclose the identifiable incident to EPD for investigation or for inclusion in the statistical section of this Report. In limited circumstances, these privileged and confidential resources may have reporting or other obligations under state or federal law and may have an obligation to follow moral and ethical guidelines. These reporting or other obligations may limit the extent to which the professional counselor may maintain a Complainant’s confidentiality.

Emory encourages individuals to report Prohibited Conduct to the University Title IX Coordinator, to the appropriate Deputy Title IX Coordinator associated with the impacted student’s school, or to a Human Resources professional. The Title IX Coordinator oversees Emory’s response, obligations, and responsibilities to Title IX, and ensures the Title IX policy, procedures, protocols, and practices are in alignment with federal regulations. The Title IX Coordinator also oversees Emory’s response to Title IX Misconduct reports and complaints and is responsible for identifying and addressing any patterns or systemic problems revealed by such reports and complaints; referring individuals and employees to available resources; offering appropriate supportive measures and protections; and coordinating the disciplinary grievance procedure.
