Northeastern’s Ethics Office is the University’s compliance office.

ETHICS

Northeastern’s Ethics Office makes every effort to foster an ethical environment for the University community. We hold all members of the University to the highest ethical standards and expect all employees to strictly comply with the state ethics laws. The Ethics Office is responsible for receiving and, as necessary, coordinating and/or referring the investigation of allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, misconduct, or other violations of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. Every year, Northeastern employees receive ethics training covering such topics as accepting gifts and bribes, conflict of interest, inappropriate use of University resources for personal matters, whistleblower protection, and avoidance of political activities during the work day. More information about various ethics matters and resources, as well as the recently updated Gift Ban restrictions on food and drink ($75) and gifts ($100), changed per the Governor’s Executive Order 15-09, may be found on the Ethics webpage.
