Whistleblower Hotline and Form

If any employee of the Garrett-Evangelical community reasonably believes that some policy, practice, or activity of the Seminary is unethical, questionable, or is in violation of law, we encourage them to share questions, concerns, suggestions, or complaints with the president, except that if such concern is regarding sexual harassment, the reporting should follow our Title IX policy.

If the individual is not comfortable speaking with the president, they have the option of reporting such a concern on an anonymous basis by dialing a third-party managed toll-free Campus Conduct Hotline® at (866)943-5787 or by completing the online form below.
