Our Commitment

The following concerns should be reported using the existing institutional policies and procedures designed to effectively address them.

The Texas Tech University System and its five component institutions — Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Angelo State University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, and Midwestern State University — are committed to ensuring excellence and the highest degree of ethical conduct at all levels of the organization and its operations.

As civil servants accountable to students, parents, alumni, donors and the citizens of Texas, employees of the Texas Tech University System act as stewards of the organization’s resources and their efficient and intentional use.

The Texas Tech University System encourages employees and constituents to attempt the resolution of concerns through established channels whenever possible. The EthicsPoint system is intended to offer an additional means of reporting to individuals for whom existing reporting procedures do not apply.

The identity of individuals who file a report through EthicsPoint will be kept confidential to the extent allowed by the investigative processes and the law. While the Texas Tech University System policies prohibit retaliation against individuals who make good faith reports of unlawful activity, the EthicsPoint system is not to be used for malicious, retaliatory or self-serving purposes.
