Compliance

The university is committed to ensuring that its electronic and information technology (“EIT”) is accessible to students, prospective students, employees and visitors with disabilities. 

Employees may not engage in external activities that interfere with the performance of their university duties, that disrupt the operations of their department or school, or that create an actual or apparent conflict of interest with their university responsibilities.

Creating a positive environment that promotes the safety and security of youth participating in programs and activities at WashU.

As stated in its code of conduct, WashU is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct. To achieve this goal, the university relies on each member of the university community to transact university business in compliance with all laws, regulations and university policies related to their positions and areas of responsibility, as well as on their behavior, honesty, integrity and good judgment.

Formal complaints asserted against students under the University’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy or the Student Conduct Code alleging violations of Title IX are overseen by the Gender Equity and Title IX Compliance Office.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was enacted in 1977 in order to halt improper payments to foreign officials, restore public confidence in the U.S. business system, and promote more reliable foreign legal environments. The FCPA prohibits corrupt payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or obtaining an improper advantage. The FCPA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any individual who violates these laws may be subject to personal fines and/or criminal prosecution.

This policy is intended to protect against harm to human research participants and to protect the integrity of research performed at or under the auspices of WashU.

This Code of Conduct describes standards to guide us in our daily University activities, standards we believe are already being followed.

Officers, deans and all Washington University in St. Louis staff members (collectively referred to in this policy as employees) have a shared responsibility to ensure they conduct themselves in an unbiased manner and serve the mission of the university.
