From the very beginning, Wollega University has understood against unethical conduct and corruption in higher educational institution’s good governance and quality of education.   Corruption increases transaction costs, reduces the efficiencies and quality of services, distorts the decision making process and undermine social values. To have a community free from such disgusting elements, Wollega University developed a strong anticorruption policy.  For the implementation of the policy, a directorate with full running capacity has been established. The staffs of the directorate have been working against misconduct and corruption since 2009. Based on the last four years exemplary performances, in 2012/13 the directorate has also undertaken various activities to see the University community free from corruption and treat it as taboo. To achieve such an objective directorate has:
