The University of California has a responsibility to conduct its affairs ethically and in compliance with the law. Employees and others are encouraged to report all known or suspected instances of misuse of University resources and/or known or suspected instances of improper governmental activities by University employees.

Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation for making such reports. This site will provide information and links to help guide you through the policies and show you how to “blow the whistle.”
