Your Role
At FAMU, we understand that compliance and ethics are not confined to the Office of Compliance and Ethics but is the responsibility of every employee, from the administrative staff to faculty members. Our primary approach to compliance and ethics is proactive and inclusive, recognizing that every decision and action contributes to the overall ethical climate of the university.
Employees at FAMU are encouraged to lead by example, demonstrating ethical behavior in their daily tasks and interactions. This leadership fosters a culture of trust and integrity that resonates throughout the campus. By adhering to established policies and regulations, employees ensure that FAMU not only meets but exceeds the legal and ethical standards expected of a leading educational institution.
The goal of FAMU Fundamentals is to provide you with resources and empower you in the workplace. While you navigate your daily responsibilities, this training and resource serve as reminders that we hope you apply in your work every day.
Come into the workplace with these expectations of yourself and others to further our culture of compliance and ethical decision-making at FAMU.
