Employee Standard of Conduct

Standards of Conduct

To make the College a safe and pleasant place to work, every employee is expected to observe certain standards of conduct, which have been established in the best interest of our employees, our students, visitors, and the College.

Certain conduct is of such serious nature that immediate dismissal may be warranted without prior warning or discipline. Examples of such conduct are as follows: dishonesty; gambling; stealing property or merchandise belonging to the College, its suppliers, students, or other employees; private financial relations with customers or suppliers; deliberate damage to College property; failure or refusal to carry out a work assignment; fighting; falsifying or causing to be falsified information on an
employment application, time card, or other College documents; intoxication; the illegal use, sale, manufacture, or distribution of drugs or narcotics; sexual or other illegal harassment; the use of firearms or other weapons on College premises; or the use or threat of violence.

The specific conduct described in this section does not include all the grounds for discipline or discharge. These descriptions are intended as illustrations of the type of conduct that must be avoided for the good of our employees, our students, visitors, and the College.

Because these rules are essential to our most important function - high quality service to our students - and the efficient operation of our business, the provisions of this section will be promptly and uniformly enforced. We appreciate the cooperation of every employee in the careful observance of these standards of conduct.
