Our Commitment

Seattle University recognizes its obligation to students, faculty, staff and constituents to maintain the highest ethical standards. Partnering with EthicsPoint, the University has established a secure, confidential reporting line to provide a way to anonymously and confidentially report activities that may involve unethical behavior, improper conduct or violations of Seattle University policies. You may file a report by using this site or by dialing toll-free 888-393-6824.

Reports submitted through EthicsPoint will be handled promptly, discreetly and confidentially. The University will not tolerate any retaliatory action against anyone for reporting or inquiring in good faith about potential breaches of the University's policies or for seeking guidance on how to handle suspected breaches.

Seattle University has established a number of policies and procedures for handling the concerns and complaints of all members of the University community. This reporting line is not a substitute for, nor does it supersede, any existing reporting methods or protocols. The EthicsPoint system is intended to offer an additional means of reporting in situations in which the individual making the report is unable or unwilling to use existing procedures, and provides a method of reporting issues or complaints anonymously. This service is designed primarily for complaints such as those listed under the reporting categories outlined on this page. The university encourages its employees to attempt to resolve employment problems or disputes through established channels whenever possible.

Reports submitted to Seattle University through EthicsPoint will receive careful consideration with the objective of promptly investigating the report and addressing any improper conduct or violation of University policy. If you file a report through EthicsPoint, you are encouraged to return here 10 business days after filing the report to check the status of your report. In some instances the University may need additional information to proceed with the investigation. EthicsPoint and the University are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of individuals who submit good faith reports or inquiries and you may remain anonymous if desired. Please note, however, that certain types of reports may be difficult for the University to pursue if you choose to remain anonymous.
