Dear Laker Nation:

Clayton State University recognizes that an ethical, efficient, and effective work environment is essential to successfully accomplish our mission. As a result, we have always placed a high priority on assuring that each member of our university community has the opportunity and means to convey any matter that could compromise that environment.

We encourage you to seek resolution by reporting departmental issues through your supervisory chain of command. Internal handling is often the most thorough and timely method of producing a resolution. However, other reporting avenues, such as Public Safety, Human Resources and Internal Audit are readily available.

In keeping with our efforts to expand alternatives for reporting matters of significance, there is hotline reporting available through an independent company, NAVEX. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and allows you to voice your concerns and to remain anonymous, should you prefer. You can also anonymously send additional information through attachments and receive feedback on your report via a report number and PIN.

Our highest priority is to deter fraud, waste, abuse and harassment of any kind, given that they so directly impact our stewardship responsibilities and the wellbeing of individuals within our campus community. We encourage you to report any significant issue(s) through any of the methods available to you.

This service is more than just a hotline through which individuals can report issues of suspected fraud, waste or abuse. We continuously solicit questions, comments and feedback about areas which could be streamlined, and made more efficient and effective.

Your input is essential to ensure that Clayton State University maintains a positive and productive workplace. This is your system, and we encourage you to use it – together we will achieve excellence.

Best wishes,

Dr. Georj Lewis
President
