* Setting forth guidelines for conduct designed to prevent, deter and detect violations of the law, uphold accreditation standards and comply with University policies * Offering support through training and educational resources; * Providing an operational structure that outlines and documents the a University's ethics and compliance efforts; * Working in conjunction with other University offices. The Ethics and Compliance Department is responsible for issuing and maintaining such documents, providing guidance in response to questions regarding such information, and ensuring consistent application and adherence to such guidance, it is ultimately the responsibility of each individual to meet these expectations.

I found a thread from September 2014 where several people shared their Code of Ethics. Close, but not close enough. I'm looking to find out who "owns" or is the Responsible Executive for your ethics policy. Ours currently sits under the Provost but we are considering a move to the President's Office - tone at the top, of course. Thanks in advance, Heather Heather M.
