High ethical standards are vital to workplace morale and productivity, and maintaining them is a core value for The University of Alabama.

That is the reason for the UA Compliance and Fraud Hotline, which enables you to inquire about or report actual or potential unethical or unlawful work-related behavior in a safe, anonymous way, online or over the phone. The hotline is designed for use by all members of the The University of Alabama community.

You can call the The University of Alabama Compliance and Fraud Hotline toll-free at 1-866-362-9476 or report your issue online here if you have concerns about possible violations of legal or ethical standards. Of course, you always have the option to discuss your concerns with your supervisor or the Office of Human Resources.  If you have a complaint regarding illegal discrimination or harassment in the workplace, those concerns may be discussed with the Compliance Officer in the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs or if harassment, with the appropriate designated harassment resource person assigned to each college/division of the University.

The University of Alabama implemented the Compliance and Fraud Hotline as part of the university's adoption of ethical and financial management practices mandated for for-profit entities by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. (Non-profit operations like The University of Alabama are not required to adopt the standards.) The Compliance and Fraud Hotline is one in a series of initiatives designed to promote ethical business practices.

Thank you for your help with this important effort.
