Ethics and Compliance Hotline
The Office of Compliance manages and addresses concerns raised by individuals who believe a member of the 探花楼 Community has violated a law, regulation, policy, or acted in an unethical manner. All members of the 探花楼 Community should help make sure the University conducts its business with honesty and integrity. To help, faculty, staff, students, guests, and university affiliates (the “探花楼 Community”) should report all instances of possible violations of law, regulations, and University Policy.
探花楼 has implemented an Ethics and Compliance Hotline that provides a confidential way for the 探花楼 Community to report instances of suspected wrongdoing in a manner that preserves anonymity and assures non-retaliation. The 探花楼 Ethics and Compliance Hotline is in place to provide assurances that all individuals throughout 探花楼 are held to the highest standards of ethical behavior. Every person at every level within our organization has an obligation to perform their duties with the utmost degree of honesty and integrity. 探花楼 is committed to preventing, detecting, and correcting violations of law and University policy.
If you are concerned for the immediate safety of yourself or others, please dial 911 or contact 探花楼’s Police Department at 940-898-2911. Do not use the Ethics and Compliance Hotline for emergency situations. 探花楼 takes every report we receive seriously, but the Office of Compliance is not able to assist in emergency or critical situations.
How to Report Suspected Noncompliance at 探花楼 (Ethics and Compliance Hotline):

Any member of the 探花楼 Community may report a situation or conduct they believe violates a law, regulation, or University policy.
