ApplyAll is a podcast from University Compliance Services, hosted by Jaime Davis. We find real-life news events from around the country that apply to employees (and sometimes students) of The University of Texas at Austin. Each episode we interview subject matter experts who help explain what went wrong for the subjects in the news, how UT Austin handles similar events, and what resources we have available to us.
