Dear Colleagues:

Revised Academic Personnel Policy 015, The Faculty Code of Conduct, and New Academic Personnel Policy 016, University Policy on Faculty Conduct and the Administration of Discipline

Enclosed are revised Academic Personnel Policy 015, The Faculty Code of Conduct, and new Academic Personnel Policy 016, University Policy on Faculty Conduct and the Administration of Discipline, which are effective January 1, 2002, and supersede existing Academic Personnel Policy Section 015.

Academic Personnel Policy 015 sets forth professional rights of faculty, both general ethical principles for faculty and examples of unacceptable faculty conduct, and rules and recommendations for the enforcement of the Faculty Code. Academic Personnel Policy 016 includes general policy regarding faculty discipline. It specifies the penalties that may be imposed for violations of the Faculty Code of Conduct, what types of faculty behaviors are covered under the Faculty Code, and which academic personnel are governed by the Faculty Code. Revised Academic Personnel Policy 015 and new Academic Personnel Policy 016 were approved by the Assembly of the Academic Senate on October 31, 2001, and adopted by The Regents on November 15, 2001.

The academic personnel policies listed above may be found online at: http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-015.pdf and http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-016.pdf.

Sincerely,

Richard C. Atkinson
President
