The Process

After an employee determines that alternate resolution channels will not work, they can call the Compliance Hotline or submit an online report.  The Hotline representative will ask the caller a series of questions in order to gather sufficient information for U-M to follow-up.  The caller will be asked to supply their contact information, however, the caller may remain anonymous if he/she wishes. 

The Compliance Hotline call center does not manage any resulting research or inquiry from a report, nor does it make recommendations on the outcome. Instead, it routes information back to the appropriate administrator(s). The relevant University office will evaluate and follow up according to normal University procedures.  This will involve verifying the accuracy of the report.
 
At the end of the call, the Hotline representative will supply the caller with a confirmation number and ask he/she to call back in 14 days.  Using the confirmation number, the caller can check the status of his/her report.  The call-back feature also allows U-M officials to ask questions back to the caller even if he/she has requested anonymity.

The Compliance Hotline is not for reporting criminal or medical emergencies.  For emergency assistance, please call 911.
