...providing tools, guidance, and oversight needed to adhere to applicable regulatory requirements and ethical standards;

...identifying, prioritizing and managing compliance risks;

providing relevant compliance training to faculty, staff and students; and

providing all stakeholders an opportunity to report issues of possible non-compliance in a confidential manner.
