Why Offer a Compliance Hotline?

Ohio Dominican University’s greatest assets are its faculty and staff. One of the major reasons why is because you help us be the best university possible by identifying potential issues and concerns, and bringing them to the attention of University leadership. Your reporting allows Ohio Dominican to take steps to address those concerns, which helps to improve the university overall.

Unfortunately, there are times when our employees encounter a situation or information which they do not feel comfortable sharing publicly or privately. These situations may involve theft, or other unethical or illegal acts, all of which have the potential of costing Ohio Dominican significantly each year.

Because of this, we have set up multiple reporting options, including being able to submit a report anonymously online. The information outlined below will hopefully answer any questions you may have so you’ll be equipped with the information you need to help us stop any wrongdoing that could negatively impact Ohio Dominican.
 

Do your part to protect Ohio Dominican University.

Behavior such as theft, fraud and unethical behavior hurts us all. To keep Ohio Dominican safe, and to help reduce company losses, it takes each individual being willing to report occurrences such as:

  • Conflicts of Interest
  • Confidential or proprietary information
  • Internal accounting controls & procedures
  • Auditing matters
  • Fraud
