TIPS Reporting Tool

University of Western States is committed to ensuring that students and the surrounding community feel safe. To support this, the university has implemented a threat assessment, incident management and prevention service (TIPS).

TIPS is a multi-usage reporting tool:

Did you witness a safety issue? Use TIPS to report on any non-emergency safety concerns ranging from fraud, harassment, robbery and more.
Think of TIPS as a suggestion box that is an outlet for the UWS and surrounding community to have a voice on solutions that can benefit UWS.
TIPS is also a place to record random acts of kindness and give thoughtful shout-outs.

Reported information is kept confidential, and once submitted, specific departments and personnel will be updated to take action.

Additional questions? Contact Sara Mathov, associate vice president for university operations at [email protected]
