Information on Reporting to Civil Rights Compliance
Make a Report
The incident reporting form is Civil Rights Compliance's preferred and primary method for receiving reports. Using this form ensures that Civil Rights Compliance has the most secure and complete information necessary to make informed decisions concerning report response and the health and safety of impacted individuals and our Drexel community. However, if for some reason you are unable to submit the report, please contact Civil Rights Compliance by phone (215.895.1405) or email (civilrights@drexel.edu) to relay your report or to gather additional information about reporting.
Reporting parties will not be contacted or updated after a report is received unless additional information or clarification is required. Civil Rights Compliance takes privacy very seriously and only shares information on a need-to-know basis. Anyone named in a report can learn more about their options, rights, privacy, confidentiality and resources by reviewing the Notice of Rights and Options [PDF].
If you are a mandated reporter, please refer to the Mandated Reporting at Drexel University guide [PDF] for information about your responsibilities, on-campus and off-campus resources, and conversational suggestions with a student or colleague in need.
