Whistleblower Policy

Cedar Crest College is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct for all members of the campus community. Employees are expected to adhere to high standards of professional and ethical conduct in carrying out their duties. Maintaining ethical standards, including appropriate financial and data standards, human resources practices, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and sound risk management and safety practices is the responsibility of every member of the Cedar Crest community. Early identification and resolution of ethical issues that might arise are critical to maintaining sound business practices.

Reporting

The College encourages members of the community to come forward in a timely manner with good faith reports or concerns about suspected ethical and compliance issues. Employees are encouraged to submit such reports to their immediate supervisor or the appropriate department chairperson, human resources or the Chief Financial Officer.

Alternate Reporting

Although the College encourages employees to report concerns within the College itself, there are times when an individual may feel it is necessary to report a concern of wrongdoing outside of the traditional reporting mechanism. To address that situation, Cedar Crest offers a way to anonymously and confidentially report activities that may involve improper conduct or violations of Cedar Crest policies or practices.
