Online Ethics Training

The State Officials and Employees Ethics Act of 2003 requires all State employees to participate in annual ethics training. The Ethics Act can be viewed in its entirety at the Illinois Executive Inspector General's website at www.inspectorgeneral.il.gov

The Office of the Executive Inspector General will provide Oakton Community College with access to an online training course. The training program is hosted at: http://www.etcc.il.gov/

The training window for all Oakton employees was: October 18 - November 16, 2006.

The mandated ethics training is very important. Failure to complete the annual ethics training will result
in the statutorily required reporting of your name to the Executive Inspector General. The penalties of noncompliance will be determined by the Illinois Executive Ethics Commission, based on authority granted within the law in addition to any internal disciplinary action imposed by the College (up to and including dismissal).
