Penn State Ethics Hotline

At Penn State, we have made a commitment to the highest standard of ethical behavior among all in our community. As a part of that commitment, we believe that our employees and students should be able to raise questions or voice concerns about workplace and University issues. Concerns about harassment, discrimination, athletics-compliance issues, sexual misconduct, fraud, theft of University assets, research compliance matters, or other misconduct concerns may be reported to Penn State's hotline anonymously.

University employees and students can report issues and/or ask questions via phone at 1-800-560-1637 or online.
