Ethics and Compliance Office
Office of the President

The Ethics and Compliance Office (ECO) advances NIU's mission by promoting accountability, equal access and ethical behavior in the university's educational and workplace environment. We work to accomplish this by:

• Investigating complaints of problematic conduct or behavior by members of the university community.
• Educating campus on university policies, compliance mandates and records management guidelines.
• Promoting the accessibility of NIU's information technology.

Reporting Misconduct

Policies on discrimination/harassment and sexual misconduct apply to in-person and virtual behavior (cyberstalking, for example).

If you've been affected by sexual misconduct, discrimination, harassment or retaliation, contact us at eco@niu.edu and/or file a report or complaint.

If you're a responsible employee, you must report sexual misconduct when you become aware of a suspected or actual incident, whether you learn of it in person, in writing or online.
