Confidential Reporting Hotline

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner, as stated in the HR Policy 0580. To assure compliance, we ask that matters of non-compliance be reported to the appropriate Offices (Human Resources 901-448-5600, Office of Equity and Diversity 901-448-2112, Campus Police 901-448-4444). The Confidential Reporting Hotline (844-260-6966 or 901-448-3121) may also be used as an additional resource, helping ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and University Policies and Procedures.

Examples of compliance issues that may be reported using the Hotline include, but are not limited to, employee relation concerns (unfair treatment, miscommunication between employees and/or supervisors, corrective action, and violation of University policy and procedures) financial impropriety, misuse of UTHSC resources, conflicts of interest, discrimination, harassment, and security violations. The Hotline is a resources to pursue immediate concerns; therefore, it is not imperative that you have a complete knowledge of the law, regulation, or policy related to the potential violation. However, we must be provided with enough information to pursue the concern appropriately.

The Hotline is toll-free or local and available 24-hours-per-day, 7 days-per-week.  You can report confidential information, anonymously, by dialing *67 then the number. The information you provide using the hotline will be directed to a toll-free voicemail system and retrieved daily by an HR-Employee Relations Representative. The representative will enter this information into our HR data management system, which will then be deciphered by the appropriate party, identifying key elements and determining the best action plan, to address the matter at hand.

If information exists that may be helpful to the UTHSC Police Department in an investigation of a crime on campus or if you have any safety or security concerns on campus, please contact Campus Police immediately. If an EMERGENCY exists or a crime is occurring, while off campus, please dial 9-1-1 right away.

UTHSC prohibits any form of retaliation against a person who reports in good faith, any known or suspected misconduct.
