Integrity

West Virginia University holds itself to the highest ethical standards. For this reason, the University has joined with EthicsPoint to establish an anonymous system for reporting possible violations of the University's policies. You may file an anonymous report with West Virginia University through this site or by calling EthicsPoint toll-free at .

Openness

WVU encourages employees, whenever possible, to discuss concerns with their supervisors or appropriate University personnel in such units as Internal Audit, Human Resources, or the General Counsel’s Office. The University will not take retaliatory actions against employees or constituents who make good faith reports about potential misconduct. The EthicsPoint reporting system is a confidential alternative for reporting issues.

Responsiveness

Reports submitted to West Virginia University through EthicsPoint will receive prompt investigation and any violation of University policy that is found will be addressed. In response to reports, the University may also develop educational programs to increase campuswide awareness of policies that are being overlooked or misinterpreted.

After you file a report through EthicsPoint, we encourage you to return to this site in five days to check the report's status and learn whether the University needs any additional information to investigate the report. EthicsPoint will protect your anonymity at all times.

Please note before starting a report:

The WVU EthicsLine is intended for reporting matters related to West Virginia University (as a state public institution of higher education), the West Virginia University Research Corporation (as an affiliate supporting research activity at WVU), and the WVU Alumni Association.
EthicsPoint should NOT be used to report any matters related to WVU Health System / WVU Medicine. Patient reporting resources for WVU Medicine facilities are available here. WVU Medicine employees should consult with their internal policies for appropriate reporting resources.
Please do NOT include sensitive data about yourself or others in your report (such as Social Security Numbers, bank or credit card numbers, or Protected Health Information or PHI). In order to support WVU’s efforts to Defend Your Data, we encourage you to report any potential concerns involving WVU data to the WVU Computer Security and Privacy Incident Reporting System.
