UTD Compliance Hotline
http://utdallas.edu/audit-compliance/hotline_about.htm
The objective of the compliance hotline is to provide a confidential way for employees to obtain information about compliance issues and report instances of suspected non-compliance outside the normal chain of command in a manner that preserves confidentiality and assures non-retaliation. Employees should use the hotline when they are not satisfied with their supervisors' response to a compliance issue, or if they fear retaliation by their supervisors. Under normal circumstances, however, compliance issues should be addressed through normal administrative channels.
