Ethics

 

The University of Wyoming is committed to sound, professional standards of integrity and ethical conduct. To implement the principles of excellence, integrity, respect, and responsibility the University of Wyoming has developed policies, procedures and university regulations for conduct related to academic honesty, non-discrimination, and use of university resources. Upholding the basic values we share depends upon 
knowing the applicable policies and incorporating the requirements of law and spirit of policy into 
our actions. As faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees, we recognize that our behavior jointly 
affects our individual reputations and that of the entire university community

 

All departments and members of the University's trustees, administration, faculty, staff, and student body are responsible for upholding professional standards of integrity and ethical conduct.
