Publicizing the College of Forestry Code of Professional Conduct

Publicizing the College of Forestry Code of Professional Conduct in Classes

At the beginning of each class, each term, instructors will hand out the College of Forestry Code of Professional Conduct. Suggested points to highlight and discuss are:

• The College is a collection of people from all walks of life. It is important that we all show respect for each other’s ideas, choices, religious principles, political views, and lifestyles.
• Our language is very important in how we use it. It mirrors our attitudes in many respects. It is important that we are cognizant of our choices of words.
• The College is a public place that welcomes people from all over the world. Our conduct in our classrooms, laboratories, offices, and hallways should always be such that it also welcomes all people at all times.
• Forestry faculty and students assume that forestry students are honest and that they consistently abide by the Professional Code. Therefore, Forestry instructors may leave the classroom during tests and in other ways help students develop and promote personal integrity.

Publicizing the College of Forestry Computing Acceptable Use Policy

At the beginning of each class, each term, instructors will make students aware of the Computing Acceptable Use Policy.

Suggested points to highlight and discuss are the most common violations of the policy:

• Use of computing facilities for personal or commercial monetary gain
• Using College and University mailing lists to broadcast announcements. Check with the Helpdesk or your department office before using these lists. Most announcements should go in the weekly staff or student bulletin to help minimize e-mail traffic.
• Storing and using non-work-related media files on the network
• Storing files in public disk spaces that could be considered obscene, offensive, or threatening.
• Storing and using peer-to-peer file sharing programs
