2026 TASKFORCE ON THE REVIEW OF 鶹ֱ’S POLICY ON PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Charge

鶹ֱ’s current Policy on Professional Conduct was approved by 鶹ֱ’s Board in 2015, publicly announced in 2017, and amended in 2019: this policy was the result of “鶹ֱ members’ call for a comprehensive professional conduct policy that would be consistent with 鶹ֱ’s Mission and Strategic Plan.” The policy was proposed to be reviewed annually.

In scope, the policy on professional conduct is intended to give guidance to 鶹ֱ’s standing committees as they write and implement their specific policies relating to their sphere of action. As 鶹ֱ is adopting a Strategic Plan for 2026-2030; and as the 鶹ֱ Board wishes to support the work of 鶹ֱ members who maintain the highest ethical standards of scholarship and public discourse, this Taskforce has been created:

  1. to examine the current Policy on Professional Conduct
  2. to collaborate with 鶹ֱ membership, including the leadership, in revising the Policy on Professional Conduct
  3. to suggest revisions to 鶹ֱ’s Board that will enhance 鶹ֱ’s standards of scholarship and public discourse.
