The purpose of the Hotline is to
provide UTSA employees with a confidential alternative for reporting
suspected unethical or inappropriate activity, e.g., fraud, abuse,
violations of federal or state laws, or UTSA policy. While you are encouraged to report these issues directly to your
immediate supervisor or to the appropriate UTSA administrator, UTSA
recognizes that this may not always be an option and has made the
Hotline available for this reason. Although all calls will be accepted and reported to the Office of
Institutional Compliance and Risk Services, the Hotline is not intended for reporting
employee grievances, e.g., complaints concerning wages, hours of work,
performance evaluations, merit raises etc. Only compliance related issues
will be investigated (refer to the section below titled What type of situations should be reported tot he hotline?

The Hotline is a resource
available to UTSA employees (faculty, staff and administration) 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. The
hotline service is provided by the Network, a company staffed with trained
interviewers who answer all UTSA calls and speak English and Spanish. UTSA employees do not answer calls. When you call the Hotline, you will be asked to describe the issue
in as much detail as possible. You
do not have to tell them who you are. The trained interviewers will promptly relay the information to the Office of Institutional Compliance and Risk Services at UTSA where it is evaluated
to determine the most appropriate means of handling of the issue.
