Compliance Week: Why it matters

Each September, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ÆÆ½â°æÏÂÔØ partners across campus to deliver Compliance Week—a coordinated series of messages about the policies and resources that keep our community safe, ethical andÌýconnected. Over the coming days, you’ll receive eMemos on key topics such as student privacy, voter registration, alcohol and other drugs, and the Annual Security Report.

Why it matters

At ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ÆÆ½â°æÏÂÔØ, successful Buffs thrive in an environment built on respect, integrity and accountability. Compliance safeguards the integrity of our research, supports a safe and inclusive campus where everyone can succeed, and sustains our shared values over the long term. By learning and following these policies, we demonstrate how Buffs collaborate to protect opportunity and well-being for all.
