Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,

Courageous Integrity is a shared value at UNT. As a public institution of higher learning, we have a responsibility to set a high standard for ethical conduct, reflected in the ethical and honest ways we interact with our students, the public, and each other.
UNT’s robust compliance and ethics program is designed to promote a culture of integrity and accountability. Guidance and direction can be found in our annual ethics training.  
 
One way you can help is to report instances of fraud, waste, or abusive activities involving any university faculty or staff member, student, or other affiliate. Examples include conflicts of interest, discrimination, fraud, misuse of university resources or information, NCAA violations, theft, violations of safety rules, or environmental laws.
 
Discuss with your direct supervisor first if you’re comfortable and make a report through the UNT Trust Line.
 
The UNT Trust Line is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through independent third-party vendor, One Trust. Reports can be made anonymously online, by phone at 1-877-606-9187, or by texting “Hello” to 940-340-5156. All reports will be reviewed by University Integrity and Compliance and, as appropriate, investigated by the university. UNT does not tolerate retaliatory actions taken toward any person who, in good faith, reports, seeks guidance regarding compliance concerns, or participates in a compliance-related investigation.
 
If you have questions, please contact University Integrity and Compliance at compliance@unt.edu or 940-565-4142. 
 
Thank you all for your dedicated service to UNT, our students, and our entire community.

UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
President
