Direct Reporting to the University of Iowa

The University of Iowa recognizes its obligation to its faculty, staff and the community to maintain the highest ethical standards. Policy compliance is a shared responsibility that depends on individuals voicing their concerns.

The university strongly encourages staff, students and other members of the campus community to report concerns of misconduct directly through normal lines of communication. If you are an employee, your immediate supervisor is often the best option. If you are a student, instructors, advisers, or residence hall staff usually can help. Other UI reporting resources include:

Speaking up isn't always easy. The UI Confidential Hotline offers an always-available, easy to use resource for reporting potential policy violations. You can report concerns via the UI Confidential Hotline website. All information you provide resides on EthicsPoint's secure servers. You also can report by phone: 866-384-4277

Together we can spot and fix problems, minimize risks, and keep our university secure.

This hotline should not be used to report issues concerning discrimination, harassment, or student conduct. Matters of this nature usually cannot be appropriately addressed when the complainant chooses to remain anonymous, and the university may not be able to investigate such allegations in an anonymous report.
