EthicsPoint is a third-party hotline and website through which any member of the campus community can report any suspected misconduct at the university. The UNM Compliance Office uses this information to initiate investigations and generate data on policy violations at UNM. You may use EthicsPoint to submit either an anonymous or identified report to the University.
- The University may choose to start an investigation per the relevant policy.
- If you provide your name, someone from the University may contact you for more information about the incident. They may also ask you to serve as a witness in an ongoing investigation.
- If you choose to remain anonymous, you will not be contacted unless you file your report with another campus office. However, be aware that your report to the EthicsPoint Hotline may trigger a University investigation of the campus unit where the incident occurred.
- CEEO will use the information you provide to identify individuals and units that have engaged in repeated misconduct.
- You may learn about actions the University has taken in response to your anonymous report by logging back in to the EthicsPoint website.
Chair or Director
Chairs and Directors are important sources of information, and may help you resolve a situation informally, but they are also required to report certain incidents to university authorities. As supervisors, they may also have competing responsibilities toward other staff or faculty involved in the conflict.
Chairs or Directors also play an important role in resolving bullying disputes, both informally and formally, via the University’s Respectful Campus policies (Faculty Handbook C09 and University Administrative Policy 2240). If you wish to report bullying by another faculty member, contact the offending faculty's Chair or Director. If you experience harm from your own Chair or Director, or if you are a Chair or Director, you may wish to consult with the appropriate Associate Dean or other official at the next higher level of authority. If a staff member engages in bullying, contact the offending staff member's Supervisor.
- The Chair or Director may be able to refer you to helpful campus and community resources, including appropriate places for reporting misconduct.
- Your Chair or Director may offer remedies to help manage your concern, including voluntary mediation or changes to work schedule or environment.
