Reporting Hotline
The University’s Reporting Hotline is a simple, confidential method for reporting suspected misconduct. The hotline is a vital tool to empower all members of our campus community and to promote trust, respect and pride in our University.
Our hotline is hosted by a secure, independent provider, EthicsPoint, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your report is handled promptly and confidentially. You may choose to remain anonymous.
To Make a Report
Step 1 – Identify your concern
If you are aware of possible misconduct, unethical behavior or a violation of University policy, we strongly encourage you to make a report.
Review types of misconduct to report.
Step 2 – Contact your supervisor or Human Resources
In many situations, you may choose to follow existing reporting methods to discuss your concern. Contact your supervisor or Human Resources, especially in instances involving:
- Title IX
- Discrimination
- Harassment
- Whistleblowing
Review the University’s Policy and Procedure Manuals:
- Please access the Employee Portal for access to the Employee and Faculty handbooks.
- The Office of Student Affairs maintains the University Student Handbook.
If you are not comfortable with contacting your supervisor or Human Resources directly or if you prefer to remain anonymous, see Step 3.
Step 3 – Use the Reporting Hotline
The Reporting Hotline is a confidential online or toll-free resource for reporting misconduct, unethical behavior, fraud or policy violations. All reports are handled promptly and discretely.
Our hotline is hosted by a secure, independent provider, EthicsPoint – so you can be assured that your report is handled confidentially. You may remain anonymous and the IP address of your PC cannot be traced.
