Code of Conduct '17-'18
main purpose of conduct is to foster the four prioritized goals of SGA for this academic year
namely, (1) accountability, (2) transparency, (3) inclusion and diversity, (4) raising the SGA standards
we hope this can be achieved through the Attendance Policy, Confidentiality Policy, including the Non-Discrimination Policy in the Pre-amble, and including the notion that not only are we not discouraging and discouraging discrimination, but also promoting and supporting diversity and inclusion for all members of the student body on our campus
through a written manifestation, we hope to turn these idealized theories into realistic, attainable, goals
