Confidential Channel
Say it safely. We're listening.
Some things are hard to raise by name — a supervisor conflict, a delayed stipend, harassment, or a concern about how a fund was handled. This channel is built for exactly that. No login, no name, no email captured.
- No IP address or device data is logged with your message.
