You may submit anonymous disclosures of sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct to the Office for Gender Equity (OGE) by using the Resource for Online Anonymous Disclosures (ROAD). Through the ROAD, you can let us know of a concern, communicate with a member of OGE, and access resources without revealing your identity.
Disclose Anonymously
Using the ROAD
The ROAD provides an online form for disclosing concerns; this online form is hosted by an independent, third-party vendor who provides secure, anonymous reporting services. The vendor is contractually committed to preserve your anonymity and not pursue your identity.
If you are unable to access the ROAD for any reason, you may still anonymously submit a disclosure to OGE. To do so by phone, you may call OGE at (617) 496-0200 from a blocked number and withhold your name when you speak with one of our staff. Or, you may email OGE at oge@harvard.edu from an email address that does not contain personally identifying information. You may share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable.
FAQs About The ROAD
What does it mean to submit a disclosure? How is it different from filing a formal complaint?

How do I know my identity will be kept anonymous?
The ROAD is hosted by a third-party vendor who is contractually committed not to pursue your identity and will not generate or maintain any internal connection logs with IP addresses. No information linking your identity to this form is available to either Harvard University or the third-party vendor.
If you feel uncomfortable submitting a disclosure on a device connected to the Harvard University network, you have the option of using a device that is connected to another network (such as the network at your home, an Internet café, a friend’s house, etc.).
