Callers to AlertLine are given the option to remain anonymous. AlertLine calls are answered by trained independent communications specialists who are not employees of the University of Pittsburgh. These individuals record information that callers provide, and then turn the information over to the appropriate University entity—usually the Office of Human Resources, Department of Internal Audit, Office of Research Conduct and Compliance, or Office of the General Counsel—for follow-up, investigation, and resolution.
