Hotline and Whistleblower Policies

Share this

The University of California (UC) and the UCLA Health Sciences have a responsibility to conduct affairs ethically and in compliance with the law.

If you suspect that a workforce member is engaged in improper governmental activities, you should know that UC has policies that can show you how to "blow the whistle" and can protect you from retaliation if the need arises.

What is a Whistleblower?

A person or entity making a protected disclosure is commonly referred to as a Whistleblower. A Whistleblower may be a workforce member, student, patient, applicant for employment, vendor, contractor or the general public. The whistleblower's role is as a reporting party and they are not investigators or finders of fact, nor do they determine the appropriate corrective action or remedial action that may be warranted.

What is a Protected Disclosure?

According to California Government Code Section 8547.2(e), a protected disclosure means:

A good faith communication, including a communication based on, or when carrying out, job duties, that discloses or demonstrates an intention to disclose information that may evidence:

(1) an improper governmental activity or,

(2) a condition that may significantly threaten the health or safety of employees or the public if the disclosure or intention to disclose was made for the purpose of remedying that condition.

What is the Role of the University?

It is the role and responsibility of the University to receive and respond to whistleblower complaints, whether the whistleblower remains anonymous or identified, and to ensure appropriate investigation and reporting of all inquires from the properly designated examining unit. 

This may include, but is not limited to, Audit and Advisory Services, Risk Management, Campus Police,Office of Compliance Services, School of Medicine Administration and other UCLA officials and representatives.

Once all investigations are concluded, official disclosure and/or reporting is provided and in general, whistleblowers may be informed of the outcome of their complaint.
