Scammers threatening students
|
|
Scammers are calling international students claiming to be from UTA’s legal department, threatening their arrest, and demanding money.
The caller tells the students they are missing paperwork and that they and their parents in their home country could be imprisoned. The criminal then suggests the students send money via Zelle in increments to pay the caller for doing the paperwork. The caller also tells the student to delete social media accounts and turn off their computer and phone after the payment is made.
UT Arlington officials will not contact you in this manner or threaten arrest for missing paperwork or non-payment of debts.
Call the UT Arlington Police Department at 817-272-3381 if you encounter or have been a victim of this type of scam, if you are unable to verify the legitimacy of such a call, or if you have information about the people committing this scam.
Read more about scams from the UTA Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Trade Commission.

Chapman was first compliance officer
|
|
Jennifer Chapman, UTA’s executive director for University Compliance Services, is retiring on Wednesday, Aug. 31, after more than 25 years of distinguished service with UTA and UT System.
Chapman has been employed with UTA since 1996 and served in many essential risk management oversight roles. In 2002, she stepped up to head the first compliance office where she has remained as its only executive director. Her enduring contributions in this role include establishing foundational processes to ensure the safety of youth program activities on campus, developing innovative compliance training standards to meet federal requirements, overseeing high-risk operations and activities across our campuses, and supervising major fraud, ethics, and conflicts of interest programs.
The search for her replacement will start soon. In the meantime, her team will provide compliance services to our campus community. University Compliance Services may be contacted at 817-272-2080 or compliance@uta.edu.
