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.

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 Office 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. Please note that 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 exit to which the professional counselor may maintain a Complainant’s confidentiality.

Emory’s Office of Respect, the University’s central hub for interpersonal violence prevention and survivor resiliency, is a confidential clinical resource for Atlanta campus students who identify as and support survivors. The Director of the Office of Respect provides a de-identified aggregate summary of Clery incidents (accounting for cases in which EPD or Title IX involvement is known to limit double counting) at the end of the year for data collection for the Report. A detailed explanation of disclosure obligations can be obtained from Respect Staff at the Office of Respect (470-270-5360).

Once behaviors of concern have been identified, the team develops intervention strategies and management plans to mitigate risk and enhance safety within the Emory Enterprise. If any situation where a person may pose an immediate risk of harm to self or others, please call Emory Police at (404) 727-6111 or 911.

Title IX: 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. By doing so, Emory University can take immediate steps to investigate and respond effectively to reports and the Complainant can learn more about available resources and the Title IX process. 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 identifying and addressing any patterns or systemic problems revealed by such reports and complaints; referring individuals and employees to available resources; offering appropriate supportive measure and protections; and coordinating the disciplinary grievance procedure.

The Department of Title IX will reveal information about its investigation and adjudication of Prohibited Conduct only to those who need to know the information to carry out their duties and responsibilities, and as required by law. It will inform all University individuals participating in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing that they are expected to maintain the privacy of the process; however, Emory will not restrict the ability of either party to discuss the allegations under investigation or to gather and present relevant evidence.

Contact information for the University Title IX Coordinator is located immediately below:
