RESPONSIBILITIES AMAS is responsible for assisting University
administrators in the discharge of their responsibilities, including the
safeguarding of University resources. As a result, AMAS has a
fact-finding role in investigations related to the potential misuse of
University resources. These responsibilities, related investigation
procedures, and rights of potential "whistleblowers" are
described in:
UC Business and Finance
Bulletin G-29
UCSD
Campus Policy: (PPM 460-5; "Reporting and Investigating Improper
Governmental Activities, Misuse of University Resources, Fraud and Other
Irregularities")
PROCEDURES
FOR REPORTING SUSPECTED ABUSE
If members of the UCSD community - faculty, staff, and students - have
concerns about possible improper activities that may place the University
at risk, we encourage them to discuss their concerns with their
supervisors, managers or department heads. We recognize that
sometimes an individual would prefer an alternative avenue for reporting
concerns about compliance with policies and procedures that allows
anonymity or confidentiality. For this reason, concerns about
potential fraud, waste, misuse of assets, or non-compliance with
University policy may be reported anonymously through the toll-free Hotline
at (877) 319-0265. The Hotline operates 24 hours/day, and is
designed to respond to concerns about: misuse of assets; fraud and waste;
conflict of interest violations; health and safety violations;
inappropriate gifts; entertainment and gratuities; and potential false
billings, including patient billings. More information is provided
in the UCSD Hotline Brochure.
For concerns about potential misconduct in
research, you may want to reference the
UCSD Research Ethics Program webpage. |
