Whistleblower Complaints

To protect the identity and reputation of individuals accused of committing improper governmental activities or causing a significant threat to health or safety, the University does not undertake formal investigations without having a basis for believing there is merit to a complaint. For this reason, please include all evidence you have that leads you to believe that an improper governmental activity has occurred or that a significant threat to health or safety exists.

When describing the improper activities/health or safety threat about which you are making a disclosure, please number each allegation and provide the following information for each allegation.

  Who? Who is involved? If there are businesses involved, what are the names of those businesses, who owns them, and where are they located? Who else knows about the improper activities/health or safety threat? Who can and would confirm that they occurred? How can we reach these witnesses?
     
  What? What specifically happened? What is wrong with it? What laws or regulations are involved? What kinds of documents would provide evidence of the improper activities/health or safety threat? Where are the documents located? Who controls them?
     
  Where? Which department? Which division? What location (address, city)?
     
  When? When did the improper activity/health or safety threat occur? Is it ongoing? How frequently has it occurred?
     
  Why? What are the suspect(s) motives? For example, how does the suspect benefit? If others benefit from the activities, who are they and how do they benefit?
     
  How? How was the suspect able to pull it off? Was there a lack of controls? A circumvention of controls? Collusion with other individuals?
