We also acknowledge a commitment to the university’s Principles of Community, which states, “We promote open expression of our individuality and our diversity within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity and respect.”We will maintain high standards of personal conduct and act with integrity and discretion in relationships with colleagues, students, customers, university administrators and faculty. Observing ethical behavior benefits the students we serve through role-modeling.Although no statement of ethical standards can anticipate all situations that have ethical implications, we are committed to asking how we can best serve our students, our department and the university as a whole.
