- The individual may report the alleged, rumored, or suspected violation verbally or in writing. He/She may report an alleged violation anonymously.
2. To Whom Shall an Alleged Violation be Reported?
If an alleged or rumored violation is communicated to any athletic department staff member or individual other than an athletic department staff member, the individual has an obligation to report the alleged violation to any or all of the following persons in a timely manner:
