Principles on Corruption and Bribery in 2024
WU has published principles and commitments to combat organized crime, corruption, and bribery in 2024 to ensure transparent administration on campus. Through the implementation of policies and initiatives that promote transparency and integrity, the university continues to set an example of ethical governance in higher education.
No Gift Policy
The university’s “No Gift Policy” prohibits personnel from accepting gifts related to their duties, preventing conflicts of interest and fostering impartiality. This published policy underscores WU’s dedication to accountability and public trust.
Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA)
On July 30, 2024, WU received the results of the Integrity and Transparency Assessment (ITA) for the fiscal year 2024, achieving “A Level” with a score of 92.33. This score surpasses the average ITA assessment score of 91.28 for educational institutions in the same fiscal year. The ITA evaluation consists of three components:
- Internal Integrity and Transparency Assessment (IIT): This survey gathers feedback from university personnel with at least one year of service regarding the institution’s ethics and transparency, resulting in a score of 94.87.
- External Integrity and Transparency Assessment (EIT): This survey gathers feedback from external stakeholders, including service recipients and individuals who interacted with the university during fiscal year 2024. The overall score is divided into two parts: one from university service recipients and one from other external stakeholders. The score from university service recipients was 78.78, while the score from external stakeholders was 80.35.
- Open Data Integrity and Transparency Assessment (OIT): This assessment evaluates the extent of public information disclosure on the university’s main website. WU attained a perfect score of 100 in this component.
The ITA aims to foster continuous and sustainable improvements in ethics and transparency within the university. WU remains committed to enhancing its operations in line with the publication of virtuous governance principles.
WU’s firm stance against corruption and bribery, reinforced by its No Gift Policy and strong ITA performance in 2024, highlights its commitment to ethical governance and transparency. By fostering accountability, promoting integrity, and engaging both internal and external stakeholders, WU continues to build trust while setting a standard for virtuous governance in higher education.
