Off the record
If you are not sure where to go, or you want to discuss a matter confidentially or surface a concern without giving your name, please feel free to visit, email or call the Ombuds Office—in the Hillel Building, 3rd Floor, ombuds@brown.edu, or at 401.863.6145.
You also may call outside of normal working hours and leave an anonymous message on our voice mail. If you don't want to leave your name or number, leave some times that might work for you and I will try and be in the office then. (Current office hours are Wednesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday morning.)
