The Ethics Commission is charged with reviewing violations of the UG’s Code of Ethics, making recommendations on improvements to the code, and providing opinions about potential ethical issues. The public can report ethics issues to the commission by phone at 913-621-3294 or by email at ethics.wycokck@gmail.com.
