Informed by the results of the Something’s Happening Committee’s Workplace Civility Climate Survey, the University reminds all employees that an important part of the Code of Conduct consists of the following basic standards related to civility in the workplace:
- The University values an environment that promotes a spirit of civility and collegiality, while fostering open and constructive intellectual debate.
- All members of the University community have a responsibility to treat each other with consideration and respect. Managers and supervisors have an elevated responsibility to demonstrate these behaviors and support their expression in the workplace.
- Engaging in behaviors that harass, intimidate, bully, threaten or harm another member of the University community does not support a respectful and civil work environment.
The University is committed to these basic standards of civility in the workplace and expects all faculty, administrators and staff to adhere to these standards. A complete copy of the University Code of Conduct may be found here. For questions regarding the Code of Conduct, please contact the Office of Audit, Compliance and Ethics at (860) 486-4526.
