DO THE RIGHT THING – REPORT SUSPECTED FRAUD OR ABUSE

Hotline reports are regularly investigated, and often assist university leaders to halt improper behavior, address policy violations and resolve other problems. Past reports have been instrumental in correcting issues such as misuse of university resources and unauthorized hiring of relatives.
If you suspect or know of fraud or abuse, report it to management. If you feel unable to communicate your concerns directly to management or another appropriate university department, use the hotline. Provide details—names, dates, times, amounts, circumstances, witnesses, etc. You can even check back and respond to questions from the person investigating your report without divulging your identity.
THE STEM AMBASSADOR PROGRAM IS RECRUITING 20 U FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS FOR THE 2017 COHORT

NOMINATE STUDENTS FOR ‘STUDENT INNOVATION @ THE U’ 2017
Nominations due on Monday, Dec. 19, 2016


First class mail is stamped and returned to sender. Bulk mail, without an endorsement, is shredded and recycled. The University Directory often has an employee’s home department address, but not the address for their actual physical location, which requires rerouting and additional processing time.
Campus Mail is asking that employees take the time to remove their names and addresses for junk mailers. Visit the Data & Marketing Association’s website to change the types of mail you see by clicking the “Register” button. The best part? You can add multiple addresses such as your home AND work. In about five minutes you can save the U and yourself a lot of time and effort by opting out of receiving junk mail. You can also opt out for those you are a caregiver for, as well as deceased family members.
