Hotlines at Universities??

["Sadler, Connie" <Connie_Sadler () BROWN EDU>]

Hi, everybody. I am interested in whether or not Universities are
offering their community members a vehicle through which violations or
alleged violations can be reported anonymously. There are third-party
vendors who do this now (driven by Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.), and we are
thinking about what the pros and cons might be. Reports might come in
regarding potential fraud, misuse of administrative funds or grant
monies, sexual harassment, NCAA violations, etc. Is anyone doing this
now and if so, would you be willing to share your experience or thoughts
on this? If you are doing something in-house (i.e. a function of
Internal Audit), I'd be interested in hearing about that as well.

I'm willing to compile results if I get good response.

Thanks much!

Connie
