University Ethics Office

University Ethics Office Mission and Responsibilities

Mission:

To be a partner, educator, and source of specialized guidance for the employees of the University. We will join with leaders of the University to promote compliance and the stewardship of University resources and other assets.

Responsibilities:

The University Ethics Office is the designated liaison to receive and, as necessary, coordinate and/or refer the investigation of allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, misconduct, or other violations of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. The University Ethics Office also responds to and conducts follow-up on inquiries received electronically and via the internally managed Toll-free Ethics Help Line. Furthermore, the University Ethics Office annually administers both the mandatory ethics training and the Statement of Economic Interests filing process.

To help meet University goals and state and federal requirements, the University Ethics Office is designed to reduce unethical or illegal behavior of University employees, while improving:

• employee decision making;
• employee commitment;
• the University work environment; and
• reputation and image.
