Employee Relations Playbook v.2 - Flipbook - Page 10
We are careful to distinguish between legal
behavior on the one hand and ethical behavior
on the other, knowing that, while the two
overlap in many areas, they are at bottom quite
distinct from each other. While we follow legal
requirements, we must never lose sight of ethical
considerations. Because of the special bonds
that bind us together as members of the Trojan
Family, we have a familial duty as well as a
fiduciary duty to one another. Our faculty and
staff are attentive to the well-being of students
and others who are entrusted to our care or who
are especially vulnerable, including patients,
volunteer subjects of research, and the children
in
our
daycare
and
community
outreach
programs.
By respecting the rights and dignity of others,
and by striving for fairness and honesty in our
dealings with others, we create an ethical
university of which we can all be proud, and
which will serve as a bright beacon for all
peoples in our day and in the centuries to come.
