Violation report
The University, as a public institution and a professional community responsible for education and conducting scientific research, wishes to ensure compliance with the law and the adopted values and principles. Violation of them should in any case evoke our reaction. The addressees of such reports are direct superiors (in particular: deans, directors and heads), but also persons and teams specially appointed for this purpose, such as Ombudsperson for Academic Rights and Values, Student and PhD Student Ombudsperson, Plenipotentiary of the Rector for Preventing Sexual Harassment, Rector and other entities operating at the university.
In order to make it easier to contact these persons, we are introducing an additional option to report cases of violations of the law or rules applicable at the University, in accordance with the adopted Internal Reporting Regulations.
Any person who has experienced or witnessed any of the violations mentioned above at the University can report it in the following ways:
- by submitting the report form: https://naruszenia.us.edu.pl/form
- in person: in room 346, ul. Bankowa 14 (Pavilion B, 2nd floor), from Mon. to Fri., 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
- by phone at: 32 359 12 90, from Mon. to Fri., 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Violation reports are not anonymous. However, they may be made subject to confidentiality. The adopted solution ensures the protection of the personal data of the persons reporting violations and provides optimal conditions for processing the report.
The proposed solution is an additional opportunity to respond to situations and events that are in conflict with the principles and values that govern the functioning of the University.
