Our Role
The Code is our guide to making wise choices and doing the right thing. It provides resources, examples, and links to University policies that help us when we have questions or are faced with a difficult situation. We encourage everyone to speak up and raise concerns to their supervisors, the Office of Audit, Compliance & Privacy, or our anonymous reporting hotline about potential violations of law or policy. Importantly, we do not tolerate retaliation against those who do speak up.
Everyone must do their part to maintain a culture of compliance and ethics. All Auburn Personnel are expected to adhere to the ethical standards expressed in the Code. We must conduct ourselves in a responsible manner consistent with the Code and University policies to meet our regulatory and compliance obligations. We must do what is right, individually and collectively.
The University's rules concerning employee conduct and job performance (Employee Relations Policies) are simple, common-sense guidelines applicable to all Auburn Personnel. University Policies and Procedures must be consistent with the Code. All Auburn personnel shall be held to the same standards of conduct.
