The Maricopa Community Colleges are proud to serve the citizens of Maricopa County. Along with our mission of providing access to higher education and training, we are also committed to demonstrating responsibility and public stewardship to all of the communities that we serve. We value the dedication that our employees have in building and delivering successful learning environments for our students.
Each member of the Maricopa family is a key partner in fostering an environment for public accountability. If you have observed activities or practices that may compromise our values of honesty and integrity as stewards of public resources, we want you to feel free to bring forward those concerns anonymously. When employees voice concerns or provide information about matters that may be occurring within our college system, they play an important role in helping to resolve situations before they escalate.
