Let's talk.
Anyone can anonymously send us feedback through our department form. The University of Minnesota offers lots of good resources for providing feedback, getting help, and reporting misconduct. Some of these channels are subject to Title IX mandatory reporting requirements. Having so many resources can be a bit overwhelming, and we want to help get our people to the right place. You can learn more about them by expanding each channel.
Please call 9-1-1 if you are having an urgent crisis.
