What makes a good news tip:

• Your tip clearly lays out the newsworthy item in a sentence or two: Here is evidence that a professor is breaking university policy.
• We are looking for supplementary information to accompany your tip. This includes legal documents, emails, or other documents.
• We are not looking for speculative information. Telling us that you think your roommate may be drawing graffiti in the dorm bathrooms is not a news tip.
