What will happen to me after I report a concern? Who will see my report?
The answer to "what will happen" depends on what kind of issue you report and what reporting mechanism you use.
When a report is made through EthicsPoint, it is received by the University Compliance Office, which reviews the report. If the report falls under the purview of another office on campus, it will refer the report to that office who will follow its own policies and processes to determine what, if any required next steps may be.
Do I need to have evidence of misconduct to make a report?
No. Members of the community are encouraged to speak up and bring forward issues or concerns that they may have, regardless of whether they have specific evidence that there was misconduct. The ability to perform an investigation may depend on the availability of evidence and/or the willingness of an individual(s) making the report to identify themselves, but all concerns are reviewed. In some instances, the outcome of such a report may be education, reminders of policy, or development of training on a specific topic.
Can I be disciplined, harassed or fired for reporting a concern?
No. Â鶹´«Ã½'s Policy on Non-Retaliation strictly prohibits retaliation against any member of its community for reporting or inquiring in good faith about suspected wrongful or unlawful activity, or participating in an investigation or proceeding related to such activity.
The University considers such actions to be protected activities in which all members may freely engage without worry of negative consequences.
