Ethics Report Line Submission Process

After you submit your report, it is sent to a three-person Review Committee for evaluation.

Review Committee Members:

  • Executive Director, Audit & Advisory Services
  • Vice President, Human Resources
  • Director, Insurance & Risk Management

The Committee's Responsibilities:

  • Log and confirm receipt of your report within 48 hours (whenever possible).
  • Contact you if more information is needed.
  • Assign a case manager to investigate and determine appropriate action. Legal counsel will be consulted as necessary.
  • Notify you of the report’s status. Personnel actions will remain confidential.

Audit Committee Reports to the Board of Trustees:

The Board Audit Committee reviews reports, summarizing statistics and general case dispositions during their quarterly meetings.

What happens if someone on the Review Committee is implicated?

  • The implicated person will not review the report.
  • If the President is implicated, the Executive Director and Board Audit Committee handle the report, and the President is informed and can respond.
  • If the Executive Director, Audit & Advisory Services is implicated, only the President and Board Audit Committee will review the report. The Executive Director, Audit & Advisory Services is informed and can respond.
  • If a Trustee is implicated, the report will be reviewed by the Executive Director, Audit & Advisory Services, President, and Board Audit Committee (unless one is implicated).
  • The full Board may be informed of the report as needed.
