Highlights include:
• Prompt and open identification of conflicts of interest
• Nurturing an environment of mutual respect and tolerance
• Taking time to distinguish between what is legal and what is ethical, realizing that the two are not always the same
• Striving for honesty and fairness in all our dealings with others
• Avoiding harmful behavior like harassment, mistreatment of colleagues, plagiarism, lying, deliberate misrepresentation, cheating, and misappropriation of university assets and resources

Supporting a Culture of Mutual Accountability
“In the final analysis, it is not so much rules and punishments, but rather shared values, basic
civility, and mutual respect that hold the Trojan Family together and make it a hospitable environment in which to work and learn.”
Excerpt from letter from President Steven B. Sample, December 10, 2002
