Can calls to the Hotline be anonymous?
Callers may choose to remain anonymous with the understanding that in some instances anonymity may hinder a thorough investigation of the facts. A caller can describe the issue to interview specialist without identifying his or her name or contact information. At the end of the call, the hotline representative will supply the caller with a confirmation number and ask the caller 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 of the caller even if he/she has requested anonymity.
