Pursuant to the Ethics Commission Reform Act of 2022, all New York State employees are required to complete ethics training every year. SUNY System Administration recently informed campuses that graduate and student assistants are also required to complete this training. For those who have not completed the Comprehensive Ethics Training Course (CETC) in 2024, the deadline to complete this mandatory training is Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

New hires are required to complete this training within 90 days of their date of hire. Employees who have not yet taken the CETC in 2024 have two options for completing this requirement:

Supervisors are asked to ensure that all their employees are allotted time to complete this mandatory training.

Please note: If you are employed at a state agency other than Buffalo State University and have already completed the Comprehensive Ethics Training Course through the New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government or through your state agency in 2024, please send a copy of your certificate of completion to Human Resource Management so that we can document that you have fulfilled this mandatory training requirement at a different state agency.
