Reporting at Penn State
As a member of the Penn State community, you are encouraged to report potential issues and concerns and/or raise questions if you learn about something that might not be consistent with the Penn State Values.

Beginning April 29, 2025, the University will be transitioning to RealResponse as the Penn State Hotline provider. RealResponse is a secure system that allows for real-time, anonymous communication via text, mobile app or web. With RealResponse, users can submit concerns or reports and receive follow-up information or resources, all while protecting their identity, if they choose to do so.
Penn State takes appropriate action on every report. Providing details about your concerns helps the team responsible conduct a thorough review. Please be aware that in most cases, findings and any subsequent action must remain confidential and won’t be shared with the person who reported the concern. That doesn’t mean nothing was done, just that the results of the review are being kept confidential.
Penn State can’t help address problems we don’t hear about — we encourage you to reach out and report.
