Explore the Identity Theft and Red Flags Rule Policy.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) (pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681s(a)(1)) requires financial institutions and creditors, including the University of Miami, to create an identity theft reduction program. In compliance with the FTC, the University has created the Identity Theft and Red Flags Rule Policy and training program to detect, prevent, and mitigate theft in connection with the opening of a “covered account” or any existing “covered account.” If your department is involved in the creation, modification, or administration of covered accounts, contact Nelson Perez, executive director, University Compliance Services.

Report a concern to the University Hotline.

A comprehensive and confidential reporting tool, the University Hotline is available to any individual who wishes to report a concern and remain anonymous. Reports can range from fraud, abuse, and misconduct related to University policies and procedures to concerns about violations of irregularities or improprieties.

The University Hotline should not be used for resolving workplace disagreements or addressing communication issues between employees and their managers. These kinds of concerns should be handled with an individual’s supervisor or with their HR Client Services representative.

Students—undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and medical—may file reports with the University Hotline, or report concerns via the Student Affairs Dean of Students Office website or the Miller School of Medicine Graduate Studies website.

University employees who report an activity in good faith that may be in violation of a law, rule, or regulation are protected against retaliation by the University's Whistleblower Protection Statement.

Visit university-hotline.ethicspoint.com or call 877-415-4357 to make a hotline report.
