Purpose of the Reporting Line

NYU is committed to operating ethically and lawfully and expects all University Community Members to conduct their activities in compliance with University policies and procedures and applicable law.  If you have questions or concerns regarding policy violations, wrongful conduct, business practices, or ethics, compliance, and risk concerns, if you observe conduct at NYU that is inconsistent with these expectations, we encourage you to contact NYU Ethics and Compliance Reporting Line, which is administered by Convercent, NYU's private reporting vendor.   

Members of the University Community have an affirmative duty to disclose and seek guidance if they believe that another Member of the University Community or other person associated with or doing business with NYU is engaging in Wrongful Conduct. Indeed, it is the University’s policy to encourage the communication of good-faith concerns and complaints of Wrongful Conduct.
It is also the University’s policy to protect those who make such complaints from retaliation. No Member of the University Community who in good faith reports any Wrongful Conduct or suspected Wrongful Conduct or who cooperates in good faith with a University investigation of such a report will be subject to intimidation, harassment, discrimination, or other retaliation or, in the case of employees, adverse employment consequence.
