"Do The Right Thing"
In addition to the information above, I want to make you aware of the Risk, Fraud and Misconduct Hotline that exists for the Texas A&M University - Commerce campus.

The Texas A&M University System is dedicated to adhering to the highest ethical standards and principles. If you have factual information suggestive of fraudulent, wasteful or abusive activities, we want you to report it.

Examples of reportable issues include fraud; misuse of resources or information; violations of safety rules; inappropriate conduct, harassment or discrimination. We encourage you to report such issues through the Risk, Fraud & Misconduct Hotline, a telephone and web-based reporting system. 1-888-501-3850 or file a report online at a separate website via this link:
