Office of the President

Welcome to the Office of Legal Services.

The Office of Legal Services provides legal representation, advice, and counsel for Indiana State University, the Board of Trustees, the President, university leaders, and administrative units. We serve the ISU community with integrity and a deep respect for its mission and values.

Our Commitment

Indiana State University is proud to deliver high-quality education to students centered on our values: Learning, Discovery, Engagement and Inclusiveness. We are a community of learned individuals upholding each other to the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior.

Indiana State University is dedicated to directing its academic and administrative responsibilities ethically and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and University policy. The University not only expects but also relies on you to participate in this obligation through the reporting of concerns which involve possible noncompliance with policy or unethical conduct. As an ISU employee and/or student you are our most important asset and you are responsible for informing ISU of any misconduct occurring. This helps decrease possible adverse impact and encourages a positive workplace and learning environment.

This reporting process is a service to the University and will not endanger your employment or academic status with ISU. This process allows faculty, staff and students to make good faith reports to address reasonable issues or concerns.

The information you provide will be sent to ISU by EthicsPoint confidentially and anonymously if you should choose.
