Reporting Faculty Misconduct

 To report potential faculty misconduct, please use the Faculty Misconduct Filing Form.

  • The submitted form and attachments will be submitted to the Office of the Provost for further review before it is shared with the appropriate Dean.
  • Definitions of and processes governing faculty misconduct are outlined in CRR 330.110 “Standards of Faculty Conduct.” CRR 330.110 and this form apply to allegations of inappropriate conduct on the part of a faculty member employed by the University of Missouri System.

The Faculty Misconduct Filing form, as well as other forms relating to the faculty misconduct process can also be found on the UM System Academic Affairs’ Academic Grievances and Faculty Misconduct website.

The following are additional avenues to report various kinds of faculty misconduct, should these be appropriate:

Hotline: You can anonymously report faculty misconduct through the UM System Integrity and Accountability Hotline. Please note that reporting through the hotline should not replace other kinds of reporting.

Title IX: If you experience discrimination or retaliation, or if you are aware of any form of discrimination or retaliation, please make a report to the UMSL Title IX Office so that they can work to address the situation in an appropriate manner.

Research Misconduct: Research misconduct is defined as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Rules for addressing allegations of research misconduct are covered in CRR 420.010. If you have encountered this kind of misconduct, please send a written or electronic communication to the dean of the college that houses the faculty member.
