TIPS is NOT an emergency reporting system nor a 911 or emergency reporting site. Reports submitted through this service may not receive an immediate response. If you are seeing an incident in progress, or have been a victim of a safety or security incident, call 911 immediately.
TIPS expands the methods by which any member of the HutchCC community can share matters they feel need to be elevated or addressed—including incidents of sexual harassment and discrimination, sexual misconduct, personal safety and security, threats to others, a threat to self, workplace concerns, academic dishonesty, and more. Reports shared through the TIPS portal are gathered and reported by a non-HutchCC website (thereby allowing true anonymity if so desired) and are then shared with the appropriate HutchCC officials based on location and incident type.
The purpose of TIPS is not to replace direct contact with campus officials, but instead to provide an additional avenue for reporting campus incidents and an added mechanism for the campus community to work together to ensure HutchCC maintains a welcoming environment. While anonymous reporting is an option through TIPS, please be aware that should you wish to remain anonymous we cannot provide you a follow-up. Anonymous reporting may limit the College’s ability and options for addressing reported incidents. Therefore, some form of contact information is beneficial.
