Reporting of Information:

Per Administrative Order #6, every University employee is required to report to the Inspector General, "any information concerning waste, corruption, fraud, conflicts of interest or abuse by another state officer, employee or vendor relating to his or her employment. The knowing failure of any officer or employee to so report shall be cause for discipline, up to and including discharge. The knowing provision of false information to the Inspector General by any officer or employee shall be cause for discipline, up to and including discharge. Any officer or employee who in good faith acts pursuant to this paragraph by reporting to the Inspector General improper governmental action shall not be subject to dismissal, discipline or other adverse personnel action."

Duty to Cooperate:

Per Administrative Order #6, every University employee, " shall cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Inspector General and her or his staff in the performance of any investigation."

All employees are required to, "truthfully answer questions concerning any matter related to the performance of his or her official duties. If so compelled, no statement or other evidence derived therefrom may be used against such employee in any subsequent criminal prosecution other than for perjury or contempt arising from such testimony. The refusal of any employee to answer questions if compelled to do so shall be cause for discipline, up to and including discharge."

All Inspector General requests for University equipment, property, records or other related materials should be directed to the University Ethics Office at: 1-866-758-2146.
