University policy prohibits employees from presenting as true and accurate any information that they know to be false, no matter whether the information is presented in the form of a printed document, an email message, or a verbal communication. The penalty for such behaviour could include discharge. Any time you sign (or put your name on) anything for the university, you are swearing to the accuracy of the report. You may get into trouble for not signing a report, but you can be fired for signing a report that is not accurate.

  1. Only sign that which you know to be true and accurate.
  2. Never be a party to signing a report that is inaccurate or not a true reflection of what is fact.
  3. If you should have a question about any document to which your name will be attached, make sure you notify your supervisor and explain your concerns.
