EthicsPoint provides a simple way to report incidents, either anonymous or non-anonymous, that may involve misconduct or violations of the college's policies. 

To submit a report, please click on “Make A Report” to access a list of reporting categories. After selecting a category, you will be taken to a reporting form. Before submitting your report, you will be asked to create a password. After submitting the report, you will be given a report key. It is important that you write down the password and report key to be able to access your report again. This is especially important if you choose to report anonymously, as this reporting portal will allow us to communicate with you while still maintaining your anonymity. Alternatively, you may also make a report by calling the EthicsPoint Hotline at 844-548-0642, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

When you submit a report through EthicsPoint anonymously, the appropriate designee at the College will respond through the same anonymous service. Anonymity is preserved during these follow-up communications. In their response to your disclosure, you may be provided with information on resources, supports, and other options specific to your concerns. EthicsPoint is not an emergency service, if you require immediate assistance please contact Babson Public Safety at 781-239-5555.

See the EthicsPoint FAQs for more information.

Individuals who believe that they may have been victims of a crime may file a criminal complaint with the Babson/Olin Public Safety (781.239.5555) and/or the local police department (911) where the incident occurred. An individual may make both a criminal complaint and a complaint to Olin under its Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct and Title IX Policy or Nondiscrimination Policy.

Olin encourages individuals to report incidents to the police so the police can take appropriate measures to help individuals and prevent future crimes.  However, individuals are never required to report an incident to Babson/Olin Public Safety or the local police.

If an individual wishes to file a report on campus, a trained investigator at Babson/Olin Public Safety will be available to meet and receive a report. It is the policy of the Babson/Olin Public Safety Department to ensure consistent standardized procedures for the investigation and prosecution of all sexual and interpersonal misconduct claims.

If an individual would like assistance in filing a report with local law enforcement, Babson/Olin Public Safety will be available to provide assistance. Additionally, if an individual wishes to file a report with off-campus authorities, they may choose to go directly to the local police department. Transportation to the police department is available through Olin. One may also choose to have the police come to Olin’s campus. If this option is chosen Olin can arrange for a discreet and private place to meet for this purpose. By filing a report, you are not committed to seek criminal prosecution. However, Olin will evaluate its obligation to conduct an internal investigation.
