Compliance and Ethics

Compliance is the personal responsibility of every employee of the University of Houston-Downtown. Our mission, as a public urban university committed to providing quality academic programs, places each individual member of our faculty and staff in a position of public trust. In an environment of ever increasing federal and state regulations, it is important that each one of us fulfills that trust by performing our job responsibilities:

Your partnership in maintaining a high personal and professional standard in the workplace is not only important, but is also critical to the success of both the Compliance Program and the overall mission of UHD.
