Overview
The University of Texas at Austin is committed to a culture of integrity and ethical behavior.
Ethical behavior is much more than simply following rules; it is doing the right thing. Given the
increasing complexity of the University’s environment, determining the “right thing,” is not
always easy. To choose the right action in a given situation, we need to have an understanding
of the laws, regulations, and policies which apply to us as members of the University
community. This Compliance and Ethics Guide (Guide) provides faculty and staff with a brief
overview of the significant topics of importance for assuring that we operate in a legally
compliant and ethical environment.
Records Retention
As a state agency, it is the University of Texas at Austin's responsibility to
comply with local, state, and federal mandates regarding the preservation of
official records. Records Management Services has a shared responsibility with
Records Management Contacts across campus to systematically control the
records of the University from their creation to their final disposition.
