806                 ETHICS AND CONDUCT POLICY

It shall be the policy of the Bay de Noc Community College Board of Trustees that all employees will follow high standards of ethics and conduct.

The successful operation and reputation of Bay de Noc Community College is built upon the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct of our employees.  Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful observance of the spirit and letter of all applicable law and regulations, as well as a scrupulous regard for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity.

The continued success of Bay de Noc Community College is dependent upon our community's trust and we are dedicated to preserving that trust.  Employees owe a duty to Bay de Noc Community College, its students and the community to act in a way that will merit the continued trust and confidence of the public.

Bay de Noc Community College will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects its trustees, officers, and employees to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent of all relevant law and to refrain from an illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.

In general, the use of good judgment, based on high ethical principles, will guide all employees with respect to lines of acceptable conduct.  If a situation arises where it is difficult to determine the proper course of action, the matter should be discussed openly with your immediate supervisor and, if necessary, with the president for advice and consultation.

Compliance with this policy of business ethics and conduct is the responsibility of every Bay de Noc Community College employee.  Disregard or failing to comply with this standard of ethics and conduct could lead to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment.
