That code states, \u201cas members of the University of Colorado Community, all employees are responsible for sustaining the highest ethical standards of this institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The code defines responsible conduct, respect for others, conflicts of interest, research and academic integrity, stewardship of university property, contributions to a safe workplace, privacy and confidentiality, open and effective communication, and responsibilities for reporting misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>The website also contains links to the <a href=\"http:\/\/compliance.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Ethics-and-Compliance-Program-Final-5.23.pdf\">UCCS Ethics and Compliance Program<\/a>, designed to support a culture of ethics and compliance on campus. An effective compliance program promotes the achievement of university mission, vision, and values while encouraging an ethical culture and ensuring the university meets its regulatory obligations, O\u2019Connor said.<\/p>\n<p>Other features include the results of a <a href=\"http:\/\/compliance.uccs.edu\/?page_id=1340\">first-ever survey of faculty and staff about campus ethics<\/a> as well as processes for student complaints, complaints by faculty and staff, and <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.ethicspoint.com\/domain\/media\/en\/gui\/14973\/index.html\">EthicsPoint<\/a>, a system that allows concerns to be voiced anonymously.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
