  • Respect for the dignity of all
  • Fair treatment of individuals
  • Respect for academic freedom
  • Respect for University Resources and the property of individuals

3. Those persons appointed by the University to positions of leadership and authority have particular responsibility, not only for their own conduct, but also for ensuring, to the extent of their authority and ability:

  • That a positive and productive learning and working environment is created and maintained
  • That conflicts and concerns are addressed in a positive, timely, reasonable, and effective manner
