Memorial University's whistleblower policy is called "Protected Disclosure" ( A former President felt that that was a less negative title. More common in Canada is "Safe Disclosure", I believe). The policy, available here: http://www.mun.ca/policy/site/policy.php?id=108 , is currently being amended, with the updated version expected to receive approval in May. We also have statements regarding protection against retaliation in other policies, such as Respectful Workplace, Sexual Harassment, etc.
Interestingly, our provincial government as exempted Memorial from the provincial "Public Interest Disclosure and Whistleblower Protection Act", available here: http://assembly.nl.ca/Legislation/sr/statutes/p37-2.htm I don't know the background rationale for this, however, we therefore have the standalone policy. Hope this helps in some way. Donna Donna L.

Hi all, We are considering revisions to our Protection for Reporting Improper Government Activities policy which is a restatement of protection from retaliation under North Carolina law. I am interested in knowing if other universities have a separate Whistleblower Protection policy or simply provide employees with access to information regarding retaliation protections under applicable state or federal law.
