The University established the Office of Compliance to provide central oversight over the many various University compliance and regulatory related processes. Leading the department is the Compliance Specialist, who reports administratively to the Associate Vice President / Chief Human Resources Officer.
The Office of Compliance is ideally kept abreast of any identified compliance-related risks by stakeholders, or reports of compliance concerns by members of the University community.
