Reporting Misconduct

Reporting Misconduct

It is important to speak up and report misconduct so the University can respond with appropriate corrective action. As a UC Merced employee, you have certain obligations to report what you learn about incidents of misconduct, violence, abuse, neglect, discrimination and harassment, or other conduct that could be a violation of the law and/or University policy. Reporting this type of conduct enables the University to address and prevent harm so our campus community can work and learn in a safe environment. It is important to report any disclosed, witnessed, or suspected harm, even if you are unsure whether you are required to report it. This helps the University address and prevent harm, which enables our campus community to work and study in a safe environment. Understanding when, and how, to speak up contributes to a positive and ethical work environment. 

It is important to report any disclosed, witnessed, or suspected harm, even if you aren't sure whether you are required to report it.
