Incident Reporting

If you believe you have experienced or observed RISD-prohibited conduct or have related concerns, please contact Equity & Compliance (E&C). To report an incident, you can reach out to any of the staff members listed below, or click the link at the top of the page.

You may make a report in person, through mail or email, by phone or via the reporting form. You also have the right to report incidents to off-campus agencies (e.g., the Providence Police Department).

After we receive an incident report form, we will schedule an intake meeting with you and offer resources and support. From there we:

1. check if the individual(s) you reported have a history of similar behavior,
2. track information,
3. explain your options for support & resolution processes, and
4. may work with other offices to best support you and address your concerns.

For details about our resolution processes, go to our policies and procedures page.
