(I) Use of university resources University resources may only be used for official university business and not or personal gain or convenience. University resources include, but are not limited to, the use of university systems, such as telephone systems, data communication and networking services, and the UC domain for electronic communication forums; the use of university equipment, such as computers and peripherals, university vehicles and other equipment; the use of procurement tools such as purchasing cards and petty cash; and the time and effort of other staff, students and others at UC. University resources can only be disposed of in accordance with the policies established by the vice president for finance. University rule 10-17-04 Conduct and ethics: use of university resources: http://www.uc.edu/trustees/rules/RuleDetail.asp?ID=90 http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/arb/records_management/disposal.htm l http://www.uc.edu/af/documents/purchasing/PCard_Manual.pdf (J) Reporting suspected violations (1) Reporting to management
Members of the UC community should report suspected violations of applicable laws, regulations, government contract and grant requirements or this code. Reporting should normally be made initially through standard management channels, beginning with the immediate supervisor, instructor or advisor. If for any reason it is not appropriate to report suspected violations to the immediate supervisor (e.g., the suspected violation is by the supervisor), individuals may go to a higher level of management within their school or department. Other reporting If reporting to management is impractical or unreasonable under the circumstances, violations of laws or regulations should be reported internally to the anonymous reporting hotline (1-800-889-1547 or online at https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/22314/index.html), to the office of the internal auditor (http://www.uc.edu/af/internal_audit ) or to the office of the general counsel (513) 556-3483.
