Interim President Rawlings Highlights Anonymous Ethics Hotline; Cornell Daily Sun, 5/9/16

Yun Soo Kim, Cornell Daily Sun; Interim President Rawlings Highlights Anonymous Ethics Hotline:

"Interim President Hunter Rawlings highlighted a confidential ethics hotline and urged the Cornell community to report any concerns of integrity in an email to the campus today.

The ethics system — operated by an independent company, EthicsPoint — will provide an anonymous platform for members of the Cornell community “as well as those outside it” to report “improper conduct or violations of Cornell University’s policies” using either the telephone line or the website, the email explained.

“Underlying everything we do — teaching, research, creative activity, public engagement, and day-to-day operations — this foundation is only as strong as our shared understanding of what constitutes ethical conduct.” Rawlings wrote in the email."
