Lundquist College of Business CODE OF PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Lundquist College of Business learning community is committed to a set of core values that guide our interactions with one another. Our values are as important within our Lundquist community as within the business community. Our values help define both how we aspire to act and what it means to be a business professional.

INTEGRITY
Members of our community act with integrity and honesty. These qualities are essential in providing a basis for trust and go to the core of what is expected from business professionals.

RESPECT
Our community conveys respect for the dignity of all people. Our relationships are based on mutual respect. Differences of opinion are discussed openly and civilly. These discussions focus on issues and are presented in a courteous manner. We are sensitive to the impacts of both our words and actions on others.

OPENNESS
We encourage all members of our community to exchange ideas freely within the bounds of reasonable behavior. We recognize that learning requires an open environment.

RESPONSIBILITY
We act publicly and accept responsibility for our actions. We understand that the community will keep us accountable for our dealings. We deliver on the commitments and promises we make to others.

TEAMWORK
Our community is stronger when we work as a team. We foster attitudes encouraging members of the community to give and receive constructive criticism, and develop creative solutions to challenges.
