Department w88 slot of Conduct

We value the participation of every member of our community and want to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and fulfilling experience, both professionally and personally. Accordingly, all members of the University of Nevada, Reno Geoscience community are expected to show respect and courtesy to others at all times. Our community includes all w88 slot, staff, and faculty regardless of employee status; whether visiting University activities from the community or another NSHE institution, or resident at the University; whether part-time or full-time; whether secondary, tertiary, or postgraduate; and including all visitors, guests, volunteers, adjuncts, and emeriti. This w88 slot of conduct is not a legal document and serves to supplement University and NSHE policies (e.g., Student w88 online casino bettingand w88 casino games and regulations); in cases of ambiguity, College of Science, w88 slot, and NSHE policies supercede this document. Our general, guiding principle is that no member of the University Geoscience community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the University Geoscience community. This w88 slot of conduct applies in all instances in which you are representing the the University Geoscience community, including, but not limited to, on campus-activities, field work, attending conferences, and representation of our community online and on social media. This w88 slot of Conduct is a living document, and we encourage suggestions and feedback for improvement.

Inclusivity and diversity

Enjoyable, high-quality research can only be conducted when everyone feels safe, secure, and supported. All Geoscience w88 slot members are thus required to maintain a discrimination-free and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, age, economic status, immigration status, citizenship, political affiliation, religion and/or any other category for which one may experience discrimination or harassment. Harassment also includes, but is not limited to deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of discussions, display or inscription of hateful images or symbols, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. We do not tolerate harassment or bullying in any form, and we ask all members of the w88 slot to be guided by the following:

Be a respectful and helpful member of the Geoscience w88 slot;
w88 slot communication, be it online or in person, should be appropriate for a professional audience, and be considerate of people from different cultural backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate at any time.
Be kind to others and do not insult or put down other w88 slot members.
Behave professionally. Remember that sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are never appropriate.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Contribute to discussions in meetings with a constructive, positive approach.
Be mindful of talking over w88 slot when discussing in communities and be willing to hear out the ideas of w88 slot.
Be mindful that even when you are using your personal social media accounts that many of the geoscience w88 slot may see your posts, and thus, it is recommended that your posts follow the same guidelines described in the previous bullet points.
Scientific misconduct, w88 slot, but not limited to, fabrication of data, falsification of data, plagiarism, and concealing scientific misconduct, will not be tolerated. See the AGU Scientific Ethics and Integrity Policy for a broader definition of scientific misconduct.

In addition to making w88 slot members feel safe and secure, diversity and inclusivity have numerous benefits to us all. Put simply, the greater the mix of people in our w88 slot, the greater the mix of skills, experiences, perspectives, and ideas we can collectively draw on.

Other codes of w88 slot

Many of the Geoscience societies also have ethics policies/Codes of w88 slot that are important to read through as well (e.g., the AGU Scientific Ethics and Integrity Policy and the GSA Ethics Policies and Procedures).

Guidelines for updating the w88 slot of Conduct

A w88 slot of Conduct committee will be established with (at least one of each) undergraduate student, graduate student, staff, and faculty members. This committee will review, seek input from the University Geoscience community, and update this document every two years.

This w88 slot of Conduct (CoC) borrows heavily and is modified from UT-Austin Jackson School&w88 slot;s CoC.
