The university is dedicated to ensuring that the university community understands the requirements of applicable laws and that they have access to the training and guidance needed to carry out their duties in an effective and ethical manner.

Mission

University Integrity & Compliance strives to bolster a culture of principled integrity, foster the university's commitment to the highest standard of ethics, and empower our caring, resilient, and creative community.

Vision

The University Integrity & Compliance Office envisions a campus where:

  • decisions are made for the right reasons, based on the honest, transparent, and ethical treatment of all, with the comprehensive perspective of the UNT community and their voices firmly embedded,
  • an inclusive, welcoming, understanding and diverse community that collaborates as a united family is firmly established,
  • everyone serves by caring and focusing on the well-being, empowerment, and growth of each other, and
  • we strive to reach the highest standards of performance in all we do.

Inclusion leads to Ethical Behavior

UIC promotes ethical behavior at UNT, which is a community of vast diversity. Effective encouragement of ethical behavior becomes possible when individuals feel they are treated fairly based on their innate human dignity.  Therefore, UIC will approach our constituency with decency and a mindset attentive to valuing differences and empowering everyone to participate meaningfully and equitably in protecting UNT's integrity. We will treat all individuals with the respect and dignity they deserve and welcome all into our family.
