UCF Compliance & Ethics Newsletter

Every two years University Compliance, Ethics, and Risk conducts a compliance and ethics culture survey to gauge the overall ethical culture at UCF. The office uses the survey results to identify opportunities for improvements to the program including additional training and awareness. If you have not yet participated in the survey, would you please consider doing it today?  The last day to complete the survey will be March 31, 2022. Click here to access the survey.

“Dangerous Dialing” is a fictional story about a person involved in a real-life situation. The story helps us to recognize complicated ethical issues and reminds us how important one person’s actions can be in maintaining a fair and honest workplace.

by Stephen M. Kuebler, D.Phil., UCF Professor of Chemistry and Optics, Founding Associate Director – UCF Center for Ethics

Think about the implications of gene editing, artificial intelligence, and our changing climate. Intersections between technology, values, and communities in our rapidly changing world raise important ethical questions.  The UCF Center for Ethics partnered with units across campus to create Ethically Speaking – a series of lectures by nationally renowned researchers, thinkers and leaders who explore contemporary moral issues.

Each edition of the IntegrityStar features an actual investigation conducted by the investigative offices here at UCF (note, however, all names have be changed in an effort to provide confidentiality of the parties involved). In this edition, we turn our focus to two cases that resulted in a positive outcome.
