Social integrity Higher Education Workplace Harassment Whistleblowing PolicyAbstract
Higher education institutions as seats for higher learning are expected to maintain
high standards of social integrity and embed the same in routine academic and
social operations. For this it is first important to highlight the types of malpractices
that negatively impact a work environment and identify their causes. Moreover, it
is incumbent to seek viable solutions to ward off such degenerative practices. One
of the solutions is to involve statutory bodies, develop and enforce whistleblowing
policies across academic institutions so that academic or moral corruption can be
unearthed and properly investigated. Moreover, such policies should safeguard the
identity of the whistleblowers and provide them with all kinds of organizational
protection and security. Unless appropriate policy directions underlining strict
and legal actions against the wrongdoers are not in place, such misconducts will
continue to taint the image and integrity of academic institutions.
