Our Commitment

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology is an organization with strong values of responsibility and integrity. Our Code of Conduct contains general guidelines for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics. Our approach has been designed around our understanding of what constitutes best practice and has been benchmarked against leading global institutions. We believe the system we have adopted offers the best way to implement our commitment to deliver on confidential reporting.

This hotline service does not replace or supersede existing reporting methods. The University strongly encourages staff and other members of the community to report concerns about misconduct through normal lines of communication.

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology has selected EthicsPoint to provide a simple, anonymous way to report activities that may involve misconduct or violations of KAUST’s policies.

Reports submitted through EthicsPoint will be handled promptly and discreetly, with information made available only to those who need it to investigate the matter. KAUST and EthicsPoint are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of individuals who submit reports. The University prohibits retaliation against any individual who makes a good faith disclosure of suspected wrong-doing.
