MCG has a commitment to institutional compliance with all external and internal laws, rules, regulations and policies. Primary responsibility for compliance is vested in each individual, commensurate with that individual’s specific job title and responsibilities.

Roles and Responsibilities

Responsible Senior Administrator:
Responsibility for specific compliance duties will be assigned to the president, respective vice president and/or dean who may in turn delegate functional responsibility to an individual (office and officer) who reports to them.  Each senior administrator is charged with coordinating compliance activities within the units reporting to him/her and for bringing any compliance concerns to the attention of the Compliance Oversight Council (COC).  Delegation of functional responsibility does not relieve an administrator of his/her obligation to ensure compliance.

Responsible Functional Office and Officer:
Each responsible functional office/officer shall take reasonable steps to ensure that all employees in the unit are familiar with any applicable rules, policies, regulations and laws and are in compliance. When applicable, it is also the functional officer’s responsibility to ensure that other individuals (employees, contractors, etc.) working/conducting MCG business are also familiar and in compliance with the rules, policies, regulations, and laws that fall under their governance.  It is also the functional officer’s responsibility to address non-compliance issues when discovered.  At least annually, the functional officer will be requested by the COC to submit compliance information that will be used to compile a campus-wide compliance report.  If compliance issues arise that need immediate attention by the COC, the functional officer will direct their concerns through the responsible senior administrator, who will bring the issue to the chair of the COC.
