FAQ > Courses - General Questions > Who do I contact at UCHC to discuss compliance violations, harassment, and safety concerns?
The Master in Public Health Program is committed to fair and ethical dealings and adheres to the relevant policies of the University of Connecticut Health Center on affirmative action, racism and acts of intolerance, educational opportunity for persons with disabilities, HIV/AIDS non-discrimination, rules of conduct, confidentiality and prohibition on sexual harassment.
The University of Connecticut Compliance Program requires all individuals to report any known or suspected violations of laws, regulations, standards, policies and procedures that apply to the Health Center. The investigation of compliance inquiries is the responsibility of the UCHC Corporate Compliance Office. The Office may delegate investigations to appropriate units such as Human Resources, the Office of Diversity & Equity, or the Research Safety Office. Depending upon your preference and comfort level, if you suspect a violation you can contact: the program administration, the Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, the Compliance Officer of the appropriate UCHC domain (there are five domains: Administration, Clinical, Research, Finance, and Education), or the REPORTLINE-this is a confidential telephone reporting system operated by a private firm under contract with the Health Center (1-888-685-2637).
As a student, if you feel that you are being affected by any of the above issues please review the appropriate policy and take the appropriate action.
