REPORTING TOOLS

GS Anonymous Incident Report (GS AIR)

This is an anonymous reporting tool for the Department of Genome Sciences (GS) at the University of Washington's School of Medicine. GS AIR is for use by all members of Genome Sciences: faculty, staff, students, postdocs, and volunteers. You may report any incidents related to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, citizenship, sex, pregnancy, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, disability, or veteran status.

This anonymous reporting tool is for non-emergencies only. If this is an emergency, please dial 911. To report criminal activity to the UW Police, there are two numbers: Non-Emergency - 206-685-UWPD (8973) and Anonymous Tips at 206-685-TIPS (8477)

The goal of this anonymous reporting tool is to better address and respond to non-emergency incidents in-house, soon after they occur. You may direct your report to Serena Newhall, HR Director, Maitreya Dunham, Department Chair, or Bill Noble, DEI Committee Chair, for review and follow-up.
