From Northwestern's Standards for Business Conduct
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations: The University conducts its business in a heavily regulated environment, and compliance with laws is important as a matter of legal responsibility as well as ethics. Faculty and staff must comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations relevant to the performance of their University responsibilities. They should recognize that noncompliance can have severe adverse financial and other consequences, potentially affecting the reputation and operations of the entire University. Everyone has a duty to become informed about and keep current with relevant legal obligations. The Office of General Counsel should be asked for advice whenever the interpretation of an applicable law is in doubt.
