Why Compliance Matters to Me:
Compliance is a willingness to follow a prescribed course of action, such as laws and regulations. Compliance is not about policing people’s behavior; it is about constantly striving to understand our many and varied obligations and follow them. The myriad of compliance requirements that span TAMUGs activities significantly impact the mission of teaching, research, and service.
