UCSF Campus Code of Conduct
The UCSF Campus Code of Conduct articulates the values and ethical practices collectively prized by the USCF campus community. It expresses the campus commitment to teaching, patient care, research, and business operations that are based on the highest ethical principles. In addition, it declares the expectation that all members of the campus community will exercise integrity and highly ethical conduct when making their contribution to the organization.
There are several campus compliance programs in various stages of development that supplement this Code of Conduct. There are also many UCSF policies and applicable federal and state laws and regulations to which the campus must also adhere. This document is intended to highlight some key issues. See the Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline for the complete policy.
