Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE)
Fraud/Waste/Abuse Incident Reporting System
Reporting Hotline:
PASSHE is committed to high ethical standards and the enforcement of policies, procedures, and legal
requirements. The concerns of employees, students, and others within the university communities
regarding matters of wrongdoing are important; therefore, an incident reporting system has been
established as a means to confidentially identify situations believed to be inappropriate. Examples
comprise, but are not limited to, abuse, improper conduct, policy violations, financial matters including
theft and fraud, ethical concerns, legal violations, intercollegiate athletics violations, environmental
health and safety issues, etc. If desired, the reporting individual may remain anonymous.
PASSHE encourages its employees to attempt resolution of employment-related concerns, such ascollective bargaining agreement violations and/or benefit matters, through established personnel
channels. University human resources and/or employee and labor relations offices should be consulted
to address matters locally, whenever possible. The hotline is not intended as a means to report
employment disputes addressed through collective bargaining agreements.
