Why is the Statement of Ethical Principles included on the form?
The Statement of Ethical Principles is the University’s Code of Conduct as approved by the Board of Trustees. The Statement sets fourth standards of ethical conduct to which all persons acting on the University’s behalf should aspire, sets the tone for the University’s culture of compliance, and conveys senior management’s expectation that we all “do the right thing.” Therefore, it is common practice to ask employees to reaffirm their awareness of the Statement as a part of the annual review cycle.
