What Happens After a Report of Suspected Improper Governmental Activity Is Made?
A report made to a supervisor or another department official may be investigated by that official if it is within his/her area of responsibility. A report may be referred to the Administrative Policies & Compliance Office or it may be referred to another office deemed appropriate to look into the matter. The office will determine whether the facts asserted amount to Improper Governmental Activity and whether they are sufficiently detailed and credible to warrant an inquiry. If the allegations of wrongdoing are confirmed, appropriate corrective action will be taken. If the report was made via the UCLA Compliance Hotline, UCLA responds to the caller with a brief summary of the outcome of the inquiry, unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. For personnel privacy reasons, UCLA does not disclose what specific disciplinary actions may have been taken against an employee.
