File an Ethics Complaint
Employees are always encouraged to initially discuss concerns with his or her supervisor. However, if an issue cannot be resolved or an employee believes there are instances of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, misconduct, conflicts of interest, lack of compliance or other violations of federal law, state law, contractual agreements or University policy, there are several avenues to report your concern.
