Code of Conduct Statement: Say what the aim of the university is: e.g. educate, conduct research in an ethical way, teach graduates to become good and useful members of society. Then go on with practical rules and guidelines for staff and students.
Description of rationale on the basis of: Explain why the rules are the way they are, based on the three principles.
Principle of Integration: There should be guidelines for all levels, including academic staff (how to grade, be fair, don’t sleep with the students, etc.) For students: no cheating, send in work on time, no Internet copying. No interference from outside.
Principle of Implementation: It is not enough that students know the rules, they should also understand why. Rules should be followed, not because they are rules, but because students and staff think it is the right thing to do. Rules must be put in practice and any infraction should be punished according to the guidelines.
Principle of Internationalization: These guidelines are the same all over the world. They are not culturally defined, but universally accepted.
