ND Integrity Line

Notre Dame has a unique spirit, which is supported by our community’s commitment to core values such as integrity, accountability, teamwork, leadership in mission, and leadership in excellence. Theft, violence or threatening behavior, harassment, substance abuse, safety issues, fraudulent accounting or financial reporting, or violations of law or regulatory compliance conflict with our core values. The first step in addressing these concerns is to talk with your supervisor, Rector, hall staff, department chair, dean, director or any member of the University administration. If none of these are an option for you, the ND Integrity Line might be a good option. You can call 1-800-688-9918 to discuss your concerns any time of day or night with an outside vendor who will then anonymously forward the information you provided to the appropriate senior administrator at the University for review and appropriate follow-up.
