President Martha E. Pollack called on Cornell community members to report ethical concerns and highlighted a confidential hotline system in an email sent to the Cornell community on Wednesday morning. Former Interim President Hunter Rawlings sent a similar email to the Cornell community in May 2016. In her email, Pollack also brought up the “Standards of Ethical Conduct,” which every person acting on the University’s behalf must abide by. She said community members should first tell their concern to their units or to “the appropriate dean, vice provost, or vice president.”Pollack also said that when community members have “concerns about reporting within [their] unit”, they can use a confidential hotline to report issues. “The integrity of the university depends on our collective efforts to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct,” Pollack expressed.
