University Ethics and Compliance
The Augusta University Ethics & Compliance Program is committed to promoting and supporting
an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct.
Our office activities reflect the University's commitment to operating with the highest
level of integrity while maintaining compliance with applicable laws, regulations,
and policies. Our goal is to serve as a proactive partner and resource for University
Leadership, Faculty, Staff, and Students. The University Ethics & Compliance Program
assists with the creation of structural components, systems, and best practices designed
to cultivate and maintain a culture based off our institutional core values: collegiality,
compassion, excellence, inclusion, leadership and integrity.
Constructing and preserving a culture of compliance, ethics, and integrity are shared
responsibilities and require individual commitment from the entire University community
to ensure success. We are each accountable for:
- Awareness and understanding of the policies, laws, rules, and regulations that apply
to our respective areas.
- Timely reporting of concerns.
- Working collaboratively to resolve issues.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with stakeholders who seek assistance with navigating
ethical responsibilities, who wish to report a concern, or have general inquiries.
