Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee

The President is accountable to the Board of Trustees for enforcing University rules and regulations, which mandate compliance with Federal, state and local laws and regulations and University policies. In addition, both the President and the Board of Trustees have oversight of the University Ethics and Compliance Program through the Executive Director of University Ethics and Compliance.

The Executive Director of University Ethics and Compliance works with the President and the Board of Trustees to define the objectives for the University Ethics and Compliance Office and to execute the University’s ethics and compliance programs. The Executive Director regularly reports significant ethics and compliance matters directly to the President and to the Board of Trustees through the Governance, Personnel and Ethics Committee.

The University-Wide Compliance Advisory Committee provides direction and guidance to the University Ethics and Compliance Office and oversees the execution of the compliance function.
