’Cane Watch – Confidential Reporting
All students, faculty, and
staff of the University are held to the highest standards of ethics and
integrity. In instances of law or policy violation, it is the obligation
of every member of the UM community to take immediate action and report
any inappropriate conduct.
’Cane Watch is a Web
and telephone tool for confidentially reporting violations throughout
the University. ’Cane Watch enables students, faculty, staff, and others
to express a concern or report a problem - anonymously if they so
choose. It is a tool to supplement existing avenues for addressing
concerns through supervisor-employee discussions, Student Affairs,
Faculty Affairs, and Human Resources. ’Cane Watch is administered by an
external third-party vendor, independent of the University. Reports can
be made over the Internet by visiting
