At UCF, each of us is responsible for ensuring that we conduct university activities and business in compliance with the law, university regulations, policies, and standards of conduct. The UCF Code of Conduct highlights many of the laws, regulations, UCF policies, and ethical standards that we, as employees, are already expected to follow. The UCF Ethical Standards – honesty and integrity, respect, responsibility and accountability, and stewardship are the ethical principles and values that help guide us in all decisions and actions. Ethical conduct goes beyond simple compliance with legal, regulatory, and university requirements. Behaving ethically means doing the right thing, even when it’s not required. Distinguishing ethical behavior may seem straightforward; however, there will be times when ‘doing the right thing’ will not be clear in each situation.
