Reporting Lockbox
The Reporting Lockbox is a voluntary service, provided by MWI but separate and distinct from the Ombuds resource, that allows òòò½Íø members to log allegations of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation involving other members via an encrypted, time-stamped online tool.
Goals of the Reporting Lockbox
- To provide members of the òòò½Íø with an option to log allegations of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation while giving the òòò½Íø member logging the incident (i.e., the Reporting Member) decision-making authority about what subsequently happens with this information.
- To reduce incidents of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation by identifying alleged perpetrators within the òòò½Íø membership.
- To provide Reporting Members with the opportunity to coordinate with others who have logged similar experiences with the same alleged perpetrator from the òòò½Íø membership. This is accomplished by giving Reporting Members the option to be notified if another Reporting Member identifies the same alleged perpetrator and also requests to be notified of a match.
Additional Details

- To log an incident, please create a username (which must be the email you have registered with your òòò½Íø membership) and a password. Please contact the òòò½Íø at aeainfo@aeaweb.org with questions about your membership.
- Reporting Members may edit and/or delete their initial submission as needed.
- Reporting Members can delete incidents and their account at any point. No information will be sent to the òòò½Íø or shared with the Ombuds Team.
