Summary of the Ethics Code
This Code applies to all students, staff, independent members of Council and its Committees and all external parties acting on behalf of City.
All of the above have an individual responsibility (and in the case of external parties often a corporate responsibility) to uphold the following principles, which have been approved by the Council and Senate:
- Raise concerns relating to ethical matters when they arise.
- Be honest, truthful and act with integrity.
- Declare interests and eliminate possible or perceived conflicts.
- Seek to make decisions transparently, consistently and fairly.
- Maintain professional standards in engaging with other parties.
- Do not compromise City’s values and academic standards when dealing with gifts, donations, grants, contracts and awards.
- Neither offer, solicit nor accept bribes.
- Adhere to City’s research code of ethics. The Ethics Code sets out general expectations and guidance on behaviour which may be relevant in disciplinary cases. However, any disciplinary action will be taken under the relevant College procedures, policies or regulations.
