See Something, Say Something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office of Research Compliance is dedicated to ensuring the safe and ethical conduct of research. Our areas of focus are human subjects, animal welfare, biosafety, and research misconduct (plagiarism, falsification, and fabrication). Reports may be filed in person at the Research and Economic Development Building, Room 156, at 1225 N Highway 281, Stephenville, Texas. Reach out by calling 254-968-5563, and emailing researchcompliance@tarleton.edu or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General concerns (non-research related)<\/strong> on campus and with TSU employees can be submitted to University Compliance by calling the compliance hotline at 254-968-5563 or by filing a local report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title IX<\/strong> The Title IX office is charged with civil rights compliance and a safe work environment. Reporting civil rights issues, including sexual harassment, can be submitted to the Title IX office by contacting the appropriate representative or filing a Civil Rights Complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EthicsPoint<\/strong> EthicsPoint is the catch-all concern report system for the Texas A&M System. This portal connects to the Texas A&M system and then sends the submission to the appropriate compliance officer. EthicsPoint provides a safe interface for communicating with compliance personnel while remaining anonymous, and enables the complainant to follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty Ombudsman<\/strong> The Faculty Ombudsman provides faculty members with voluntary, informal, neutral, and confidential third-party assistance in resolving university-related issues, concerns, or conflicts. The Ombuds assists faculty members with interpersonal conflicts or disputes, including those involving academic or administrative issues. The Faculty Ombuds Program operates independently as a supplement to existing administrative or formal grievance procedures and has no formal decision-making authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
