There will be no punishment or other retaliation for the good faith reporting of conduct under this policy. If the person providing the information requests anonymity, this request will be respected to the extent that doing so does not impede any investigation.

• Acts which are inconsistent with college policy
• Theft or other misappropriation of college assets
• Misstatements or other irregularities in college records
