EthicsLine Reporting

 

EthicsLine is the name of our confidential reporting telephone and web-based system for reporting a concern regarding business conduct. The purpose of the EthicsLine is first to ensure that you as an employee, student, business partner or anyone associated with the College has a place to report any inappropriate behavior or misconduct you may experience at the College. EthicsLine also provides guidance if you are in doubt about any ethical issues. The College is committed to operating with integrity in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures and in compliance with our ethical values.

 

The EthicsLine can be used to:

• report misconduct that has been observed or is suspected; and
• ask questions about Morehouse policies, or difficult issues of behavior or ethics, when the answers cannot be found elsewhere.
  

 

The College relies on you to speak up if you believe that you have observed unethical, illegal or suspicious behavior. When you speak up, you provide the information necessary to investigate and remedy a potentially damaging situation.

 

The EthicsLine is operated by an independent and impartial company. Anyone using the EthicsLine may remain anonymous. All matters reported through the EthicsLine are investigated. The College will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who files a report in good faith, regardless of whether or not the claim can be substantiated.

 

How To Use The EthicsLine
As an employee, student, business partner or anyone associated with the College, you may submit a report online at www.tnwinc.com/morehouse or by phone at 1-888-299-9540, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
