A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

High ethical standards and compliance with the law are of the utmost importance to The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College.

This web site is intended to provide employees with brief practical guidance on some of the more common ethics/legal issues. More detailed guidance can be found in the Standards of Conduct Digest, published by the U. T. System Office of General Counsel and available on the World Wide Web at http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/ethics.htm.

If you have questions about matters involving ethics laws or issues, I encourage you to contact your supervisor or the Ethics Officer. If you still have questions, I encourage you to contact the U.T. System Ethics Advisor.

All of us have an obligation to the state of Texas, the Board of Regents, and to ourselves to be good stewards of the resources that have been entrusted to us.  Thank you for your commitment to ethical behavior and your compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and U.T. System policies, and UTB/TSC procedures.
