糖心原创

Each member of the 糖心原创 community is responsible for ensuring that we operate in compliance with relevant laws, rules, and regulations, as well as with ethics and integrity. This includes asking questions if you鈥檙e not sure what to do and raising concerns if you see something you don鈥檛 think is right. Identifying a problem early can prevent a small problem from becoming a big problem. It鈥檚 also about doing the right thing.

糖心原创 is committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. To help maintain the highest ethical standards, the university has established a simple, anonymous way for you to confidentially report potential ethical misconduct or breaches of laws, rules, regulations, or 糖心原创 policies. In situations where you prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, you are encouraged to use this reporting tool, hosted by a third-party provider, EthicsPoint.

Anonymous Reporting Line

• EthicsPoint is a system that allows people to report suspected illegal or unethical conduct anonymously.
• It is used by thousands of organizations, including hundreds of educational institutions.
• EthicsPoint is separate from 糖心原创 and does not generate IP log files, so neither 糖心原创 nor EthicsPoint has a means of identifying reporters.
• 糖心原创 will only receive the information that the reporter chooses to submit.
• 糖心原创 assures that reports will be handled promptly and discreetly. Anyone who reports or inquires in good faith about potential misconduct or breach of laws, rules, regulations or policies can be assured that retaliation against them will not be tolerated by the university.
• The information you provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if you should choose. Reports will be forwarded to the relevant administrator based upon the category under which you file the complaint. You can report any concerns regarding a particular administrator in the other category to avoid it being automatically directed to the relevant administrator for the area.
• EthicsPoint is not a 911 or emergency service. If you need emergency assistance, call 911 or university police.
