UVU affirms its commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards, as expressed in our Code of Conduct. Each department is responsible for upholding the rigorous ethical demands imposed by law and university policy as they carry forward the University's mission and strategic plan. The Compliance Office is here to help.
"A shared commitment to ethical behavior is essential to the University's success in fulfilling its mission to serve students, conduct its business activities, strengthen its professional reputation for excellence, and maintain the public's trust."
-President's Council Statement on Ethical Conduct
The University advances its education mission from a foundation of ethical conduct and professional compliance across the university enterprise. We do this by implementing the Federal Sentencing Commission's best practice guidelines for effective compliance.
Housed in the Office of General of General Counsel, the University Compliance Office helps operationalize the best practice guidelines through a three-tiered compliance program structure.
