Ethical Standards & Code of Conduct
The Ethical Standards and Code of Conduct Handbook has been developed as a guide for all employees at the University of Utah to support us in our different stewardship roles. The Handbook is not intended to be exhaustive but to provide direction to appropriate resources to assist us in acting responsibly and doing the right things as we navigate our way through the many different and complex situations we encounter.
