Report a Concern

If you have an immediate emergency or witness something criminal in nature, contact Public Safety (call 911 from a UD campus phone or 937-229-2121 on all other phones).

The Department of Public Safety is a service oriented organization which provides police and emergency medical to the University community 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

If you believe a student is in crisis and is in need of emergency services, contact Public Safety (911 from a UD campus phone or 937-229-2121 from other phones).

If you have a non-urgent concern about the health, safety and/or wellbeing of a current UD student, submit a CARE Referral. This report will be sent to UD's Student Care and Advocacy team, which helps students navigate difficulties including food/housing insecurit, family issues, grief, substance use, social challenges, mental health concerns, trauma and more.  

To report incidents concerning bias, discrimination or harassment (including sexual violence), submit an information report form.

To report violations of the student code of conduct, you may submit a code violation report.

If an employee is in crisis

If an employee is threatening to harm themselves or others, contact Public Safety (937-229-2121, or x92121 from a campus phone) or call 911 immediately. After getting the employee the needed immediate assistance, contact Human Resources for resources and next steps.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides additional resources for crisis management.

The Employee Care Team has been created to help faculty and staff. Whether you are concerned for someone's well-being or have witnessed outward signs that an employee is in distress, Human Resources has a team that can help you.

If you or someone you know in the University community has had an experience of sexual violence, you have options. Be sure you are in a safe place, consider whether medical attention is needed and talk with someone.

To report the incident, or to learn about options for reporting, visit the Equity Compliance Office.

The University does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, ethnicity, sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, genetic information, military status, veteran status, familial status or any other protected category under applicable local, state or federal law, ordinance or regulation. Harassment constitutes a form of discrimination that is prohibited by University policy.

Unwelcome conduct that is based on an individual's actual or perceived membership in a protected class, other conduct that diminishes the worth of a person, is incompatible with our fundamental commitment as a Catholic university conducted in the Marianist tradition, and therefore is prohibited by the University.

You may submit a report to report incidents of bias, harassment or discrimination that you believe may be in violation of the University's Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy.

On the job injuries should be reported to your supervisor and Human Resources in a timely manner. Information about the Workers' Compensation program including instructions, information on the process and forms for reporting injuries, is available in Porches.

If you have been injured (non-work related), had a near-miss injury, or have observed an unsafe condition on campus, please complete the Incident and Near-Miss Reporting Form.
