*Employees, students, and others are protected from retaliation for filing a whistleblower report.*

You may also report suspected improper governmental activity to any of the following University resources:

• Your supervisor (or other appropriate administrator within your unit) who will report it to the LDO;
• Human Resources, Academic Personnel or Internal Audit Services who will inform the LDO of the complaint;
• The University wide Whistleblower Hotline: (800) 403-4744. The hotline is independently operated to help ensure confidentially. Reporters may use the hotline to file reports anonymously.

The University accepts anonymous whistleblower reports.  Anonymous whistleblowers should provide sufficient detail so that the University can properly evaluate the complaint.  In the absence of sufficient detail and corroborating evidence, the University may not be able to investigate the complaint.

Individuals who prefer to report the suspected improper governmental activity to an outside agency may contact:
