EthicsPoint Reporting System

The university uses a third-party phone- and internet-based reporting system called EthicsPoint to provide a confidential reporting system for the community. This system allows employees, vendors and customers to report issues or concerns in a totally anonymous and confidential manner. EthicsPoint provides a follow-up and response mechanism while while ensuring reporter anonymity.

As a member of the SFA or vendor community, you may be in a position to observe not only questionable or unethical behavior by SFA employees but also to areas that need changes to avoid the appearance of unethical behavior. You may communicate your observations anonymously on the EthicsPoint website to file a report or voice a concern. Be assured that this is a fast, easy and completely confidential system, and SFA will appropriately investigate each report.

Advantages of using EthicsPoint to report fraud and ethics concerns include:

• It is a third-party provider.
• You can report anonymously.
• It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• You can submit a report in English or Spanish.
