Ethics Commission

A photo of a book

We implement the Code of Ethics(PDF, 328KB) advising the UG on ethics policy and ensuring compliance with Code provisions through regular review of governmental activities. Meeting once a month in an open session. All UG elected officials, officials, and employees must attend a basic ethics education training session within ninety days of their affiliation and a continuing ethics training session every three years thereafter.

The Code of Ethics serves as the basic rules and ethical principles for the day-to-day operations of the UG. For more information, read the Political Memorandum(PDF, 132KB)

Inquires & Complaints

We welcome your questions, comments, and complaints relating to the ethical conduct of government.

Under the Code of Ethics(PDF, 328KB) the Ethics Administrator is responsible for responding to inquiries and complaints. Communications may seek an advisory opinion concerning conduct authorized by the Code of Ethics, ask questions related to the Ethics Program, or register complaints of ethics violations.

The Ethics Hotline (913) 621-3294 is a confidential answering service and is monitored regularly by the Ethics Administrator. Though anonymous, callers are urged to leave a name and telephone number for a return response to effectively investigate all reported matters. All communications will remain confidential, used only for official investigation purposes, and callers’ identities will only be revealed upon proper judicial authority.
