Dear Colleagues,
Integrity has long been a hallmark of our success. It characterizes everything we do. In fact, when we talk about the core values of our company, we start with integrity. Integrity means being straight forward, honest, and transparent in our professional and business relationships. This means doing what we say and saying

Each of us makes a wide range of business and ethical decisions every day in the execution of our responsibilities on behalf of University of Minnesota. We are fully committed to ensuring that such decisions comply with the letter and spirit of the law and are ethically above reproach.
This Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is a guide to making the best possible decision in situations affecting your fellow employees or our shareholders, customers, and partners, as well as the communities in which we live and work. In simple terms,  our Code contains the guidelines we must all follow to do business
the only way we should: the right way.

Things to Note:


  • Letter forged as "from the President."
  • Email delivers a very simple PDF which has one purpose - a link to a login page.
  • Login page WILL deliver an innocuous PDF of  a "code of ethics."
  • Anyone who filled in the form should immediately change their password.
