Faculty and Unclassified Staff Handbook Chapter 4 -- Faculty: Benefits, Responsibilities, and Specific Requirements

Code of Ethics

Faculty and staff in all their dealings with each other and with students and the public are expected to conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner. In situations where possible conflicts of interest or ethical considerations are involved, prompt consultation with supervisory or administrative officers is recommended and expected. The University community operates on the basis of open channels of communication by dedicated personnel united in the support of whatever is best for the institution. Problems should, therefore, be dealt with promptly on an ethical basis as they arise. Faculty and student esprit de corps and morale are best developed by close cooperation and ethical behavior at all times.
