What is EthicsPoint?
EthicsPoint is a confidential internet and telephone based reporting tool, with the option of anonymous reporting, that helps UVU and its employees work together to address fraud, abuse, misconduct, or other violations in the workplace. EthicsPoint is managed at UVU by Internal Audit, who are independent of UVU's management team. To assist us in fully resolving your reported concerns, reporters should log back into their report to see any follow-up questions or comments we have posted.
What should be reported?
EthicsPoint should be used to report ethical, policy, legal, or financial issues or concerns. For example, unethical behavior, violations of law or policy, potential conflicts of interest, theft, etc. should all be reported. EthicsPoint is designed to report any violation of our stated policies or other concerns you may have.
Is EthicsPoint anonymous?
Yes. An EthicsPoint report can be filed either online or by phone call, and neither method requires you to disclose your identity. Reporting anonymously can hinder our ability to fully resolve reported concerns. Please periodically log back into your report and answer any follow-up questions we may have posted. Please also provide as many details, specific examples, and supporting documents as possible.
Who Reviews EthicsPoint reports?
Internal Audit investigates or assigns reports to the appropriate department (People and Culture, Title IX, Academic Affairs, etc.). Internal Audit follows up with the assigned department to ensure resolution.
This hotline service does not replace or supersede existing reporting methods. The University encourages employees to bring concerns to their supervisor, People and Culture, or other campus entities as appropriate.
