Learn about UBC’s new Public Interest Disclosure Policy

December 3, 2024

As of December 1, 2024, post-secondary institutions in British Columbia are subject to the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA). The PIDA provides a way for public sector employees to report serious or systemic wrongdoing, with protections from reprisal. UBC’s PIDA policy adds to – but does not replace – UBC’s other established policies for dealing with improper conduct, including the Sexual Misconduct Policy, Discrimination Policy, Scholarly Integrity Policy, and the Financial Investigations Policy. The UBC Investigations Office website contains further information about the policy, including the process for reporting and examples of what may constitute wrongdoing under PIDA.
