Our University's Code of Ethics is a Board of Trustees policy. At our institution, policies of the Board and the President are entitled "regulations". Here is the link to our Governing Regulation, "Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct": http://www.uky.edu/regs/files/gr/gr14.pdf
Like some others who have already responded, our Code contains the usual sections such as conflicts of interest, conflicts of commitment, anti-harassment, amorous relationships, misuse of university resources, whistleblower protection, nepotism, etc.. If problems arise related to specific sections of the Code, the appropriate office would manage the problem in their respective area. For example, HR for nepotism, Equal Opportunity for discrimination, etc. Marcy D.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heather Foster Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 9:27 AM To: Institutional policy-related discussions ([email protected]) Subject: [acupa-l] Ownership of Ethics Policy Good morning, Before sending this request I checked the archives since I was almost certain we'd discussed this in the past. 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.
