Dear JSU Family,

Thank you for your commitment to fulfilling the mission of Jackson State University. Fostering an atmosphere conducive to a healthy working and learning environment is vital to our success as public servants.

The Jackson State culture should always be characterized by respect, accountability, transparency, and inclusivity. As stewards of JSU, we must uphold these principles at all times and do our part to maintain the integrity of our beloved institution.

The JSU Ethics Line was established to ensure an effective means of reporting unethical conduct that diminishes the core values of the Jackson State University community. The JSU Ethics Line is a comprehensive and confidential reporting tool to address suspected violations of law or university policy.

Ethics Point, an internet-based risk-free reporting system, manages the JSU Ethics Line. Questionable activities and behavior that conflict with JSU standards can be anonymously and confidentially submitted. The reporting system allows for a formal investigation, follow-up, and response.

I encourage everyone to review the conduct policies to ensure alignment with the university's standards and guidelines. We should be advocates of open communication and actions that embody the high-quality nurturing environment that is a hallmark of Jackson State University.

We have the enormous and privileged responsibility of educating tomorrow's leaders. Breaches of Jackson State policies and practices can undermine trust, impede progress, and diminish morale. Setting "Thee" example for others to follow should remain at the forefront of our actions.

Elevating JSU as a defined leader in higher education begins with all of us working collaboratively to promote a positive workspace that showcases the best elements of humankind. Thank you for your dedication to the betterment of Jackson State.

With Tiger Pride,


Marcus L. Thompson, Ph.D.

President
