Liberty University Whistleblower Portal
The University is committed to leadership and actions that are above reproach, accountable, and demonstrate good stewardship. If you experience or witness actions at Liberty University that you believe are unethical, illegal, or violations of university policy, there are several channels available to you to communicate your concerns. Students, employees, and all covered persons shall not be subject to retaliation for making a report in good faith about potential or actual wrongful conduct by others or participating in an investigation in good faith.
Liberty University’s Whistleblower Policy exists to promote an environment that is free from wrongful conduct. We strive to adhere to a higher standard — God’s standard (2 Corinthians 8:21).
All members of the university community, including students and employees, are encouraged — acting in good faith and without fear of retaliation — to report suspected wrongful conduct, such as fraud, waste, misconduct, or abuse of LU assets. All covered persons under the policy shall not be subject to retaliation for making a report in good faith about potential or actual wrongful conduct by others or participating in an investigation in good faith, whether the report is specifically under this policy or not.
The policy offers reporting options, including an online portal for anonymous reports. The online portal is operated by an outside third-party vendor trusted by many other institutions of higher education to ensure confidentiality and to enable anonymous reporting if the reporter so desires.
We recommend you visit our FAQ page before submitting a report to ensure this is the proper reporting avenue. Recommended reporting processes for faculty or staff is to the right, processes for students or the public are found below.
To report suspected wrongful conduct under the policy, you can access the portal here:
