Drake University is committed to fair and ethical principles, practices and conduct in all business and academic relationships. The University’s trustees, officers, faculty and staff are expected to model the highest standards of ethical behavior and stewardship. To facilitate and protect this commitment, the University has contracted with EthicsPoint to manage a confidential hotline which provides an anonymous way to report situations that may represent financial misconduct or violations of local, state or federal law or University policies.
EthicsPoint may be used by faculty, staff and students to report illegal or unethical practices in financial or other business transactions. EthicsPoint may also be used to report illegal or unethical behaviors, such as discrimination, unlawful harassment and sexual misconduct. Reports submitted via EthicsPoint will be handled as promptly and as confidentially as feasible, consistent with University policies and applicable federal, state and local laws. Drake University personnel will review all reports submitted through Ethics Point. EthicsPoint and Drake University are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of individuals who submit reports, and if you desire, you may remain anonymous. However, please be aware that it may not be feasible for the University to complete its investigation and follow-up on certain types of reports if you choose to remain anonymous.
This reporting tool is not intended to replace or supersede existing reporting methods. Employees are always encouraged to express any concerns to their supervisors. However, in cases where the normal channels do not seem appropriate, employees should take advantage of the anonymous EthicsPoint hotline.
No one submitting a report will be subjected to retaliatory actions for making a good faith report about any potential or suspected improprieties.
