CWI Ethics Hotline

CWI is committed to conducting its affairs ethically and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as institutional policies. Every member of the CWI community has an obligation to uphold that standard. CWI’s Policies and Procedures Manual contains guidelines for conducting the affairs of the College with the highest standard of ethics and integrity, through the Codes of Conduct and Ethics policies.

CWI has contracted with NAVEX's EthicsPoint reporting service, a third-party provider, to provide an additional option for reporting concerns of suspected fraud or ethics violations or other violations of College policies and procedures.

Tobacco Use On Campus

CWI’s Tobacco Use policy is intended to be positive and promote a healthy learning environment. In the spirit of cooperation, CWI encourages employees, students, and guests to be non-confrontational and respectful of all members of our campus community when communicating CWI policies. In return, tobacco users are asked to adhere to the new policy and also be respectful of former and non-tobacco users. Enforcement will be achieved through education, awareness, and cooperation, which makes it important to remain courteous and respectful when addressing the Tobacco Use policy.
