7 Stadards of Scholarship ad Professioalism Achievig the missio ad goals of the Uiversity of Chicago ad Chicago Booth depeds o the maer i which each member of our commuity coducts himself or herself, both withi the school ad whe represetig Chicago Booth exterally. Classroom, extracurricular, ad professioal relatioships must be fouded o the values ad priciples of mutual respect, ad also o the affirmatio of the legal rights of all members of our commuity. As members of the Chicago Booth commuity, studets (alog with admiistrators, staff, ad faculty) are expected to coduct themselves ad commuicate i a maer cosistet with the values of academic, persoal, ad professioal itegrity. This icludes, but is ot limited to, professioal coduct with faculty, other studets, ad staff through the completio of course requiremets, classroom behavior, ad extracurricular activities sposored by Chicago Booth or Chicago Booth approved studet groups, corporate recruiters, alumi, other costituet groups, ad members of the studet body. The Chicago Booth commuity is committed to buildig ad sustaiig a eviromet i which its members ca freely work together. We wat to promote ad capitalize o our rich diversity as a source of itellectual ad iterpersoal opeess, while recogizig that differeces betwee us will always be preset. All members of our commuity must be treated with the same level of respect regardless of sex, race, cultural heritage, religious practice, ad/ or sexual idetity. Each member of our commuity is resposible for the protectio of the digity ad the rights of other members. This sectio icludes, but is ot limited to, the stadards of scholarship ad professioalism to which each Chicago Booth studet must adhere. Violatio of these stadards is cause for discipliary review. Specific Stadards of Scholarship Chicago Booth s Learig Eviromet The missio of Chicago Booth is to educate future busiess leaders. The ability ad willigess to lear reside i the idividual, but very high levels of learig ca be achieved oly if all members of the Chicago Booth commuity uderstad ad respect their mutual obligatios. Each commuity member defies the quality of this learig eviromet through his or her daily actios ad choices. The learig eviromet exteds beyod the classroom to the myriad iteractios ad workig relatioships of the larger commuity of studets, faculty, alumi, ad staff. Four cosideratios shape Chicago Booth s perspective of the ideal learig eviromet: 1. Respect for the idividual. There is a deep respect for the idividuality of each studet ad faculty member. Through a wide choice of electives, access to detailed course descriptios withi the olie Curriculum Guide, ad the biddig system to select courses, studets ca satisfy their particular iterests ad learig styles. Likewise, faculty members each have the opportuity to decide what they teach ad how. 2. The classroom as a place of learig. Classrooms at Chicago Booth call for studets ad faculty to work together to esure learig. Learig is ot a spectator sport; powerful learig experieces require the commitmet of both studets ad teachers. The role of the studets is to participate actively i the learig process rather tha cosume kowledge passively. 3. Persoal itegrity. Both faculty ad studets are subject to the highest stadards of persoal itegrity i their iteractios with Chicago Booth colleagues ad with exteral costituecies. All participats are expected to adhere to the orms established for stadards of scholarship. Studet Hadbook Regulatios, Policies, ad Procedures 5

8 4. Cotiuous improvemet. Chicago Booth is committed to cotiuous improvemet of all aspects of the school s learig eviromet. Faculty members are ecouraged to view the classroom as a laboratory for the testig of cuttig-edge, evolvig kowledge ad techiques. Cosistet with Chicago Booth s log-stadig empirical traditios, a commitmet to cotiuous improvemet ecessarily requires the measuremet of the key elemets i the learig eviromet, the wide dissemiatio of the results throughout the istitutio, ad the trackig of progress through time. Excellece i a learig eviromet is attaiable oly if faculty ad studets adhere to the ideals listed above. What follows is a set of specific expectatios for both studets ad faculty that follow directly from those ideals. Studet Resposibilities i Class Academically, each studet is resposible for: 1. Preparig thoroughly for each sessio i accordace with the istructor s requests. 2. Arrivig promptly ad remaiig util the ed of each class meetig, except i uusual circumstaces. 3. Participatig fully ad costructively i all classroom activities ad discussios. 4. Displayig appropriate courtesy to all ivolved i the class sessios. Courteous behavior specifically etails commuicatig i a maer that respects ad is sesitive to the cultural, racial, sexual, ad other idividual differeces i the Chicago Booth commuity. 5. Adherig to deadlies ad timetables established by the istructor or study groups. 6. Providig costructive feedback to faculty members regardig their performace. Studets should be as objective i their commets about istructors as they expect istructors to be i their evaluatios of studets. The same stadards apply to all meetigs ad commuicatio with uiversity ad Chicago Booth staff members. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the practice of takig somebody else s writte work or ideas ad passig it off as origial. I the preparatio of all work, studets should distiguish betwee their ow ideas ad those that have bee derived from other sources. Iformatio ad opiios draw from sources, eve oe s ow writigs or research, are to be attributed specifically to their respective sources. Puishmet for plagiarism may iclude expulsio from the uiversity. Refer to the sectio coverig Academic Hoesty i Plagiarism i the uiversity s Studet Maual of Uiversity Policies ad Regulatios for more details. Examiatios ad Other Graded Work Graded work is iteded to gauge studet learig. Accordigly, studets should approach exams ad other graded work with three guidig priciples: 1. Faculty set the terms of evaluatio. 2. It is the resposibility of studets to abide by those terms. 3. A studet should ot represet the work of aother as his or her ow. Uless explicitly stated otherwise, commuicatio is ot permitted betwee studets durig a examiatio or o a assigmet. Faculty will idicate whether referece materials ca be accessed ad what tools (such as calculators) may be used. A paper may be submitted for oe course oly. Studets seekig to use the paper of oe course for evaluatio i aother course must get prior approval from the professor. The title page o a paper should idicate the course (or courses) for which it is submitted. Failure to follow these rules will result i discipliary actio. Examiatio Policies Fial exams are to be admiistered ad take durig predetermied fials periods. Studets are expected to be available to write examiatios durig scheduled exam periods. Studets with uavoidable circumstaces, such as illess, grave persoal difficulty, or a death i the family, should cotact the MBA program office, ad a staff member will work with the faculty i 6 Studet Hadbook Regulatios, Policies, ad Procedures

9 appropriate cases to fid a resolutio. Periodically studets face coflicts betwee scheduled exams ad work-related commitmets. For example, a uaticipated busiess trip or the start of a itership or ew job (obtaied after the date whe it costs less to drop a course) ca create a coflict with pre-aouced exam periods. I the evet of a coflict, studets eed to speak directly with their faculty regardig the coflict. The resolutio of this coflict rests solely with the faculty member. The schedule for fial exams is available o the studet itraet via the Course-Related Iformatio quick lik. Ulawful Harassmet The uiversity is committed to maitaiig a academic eviromet i which its members ca freely work together, both i ad out of the classroom, to further educatio ad research. The uiversity caot thrive uless each member is accepted as a autoomous idividual ad is treated civilly, without regard to his or her sex, or, for that matter, ay other factor irrelevat to participatio i uiversity life. Sexual harassmet icludig sexual assault by ay member of the uiversity commuity is prohibited. Without feelig costraied by specific defiitios, ay perso who believes that his or her educatioal or work experiece is compromised by sexual harassmet or sexual assault should cotact a advisor or director i his or her appropriate program office to discuss the situatio. A studet also may seek assistace from a sexual harassmet complait advisor. A curret list of advisors is available olie at csl.uchicago.edu/get-help/bias-respose-team. Certai types of behavior may be iappropriate. For example, eve though speech is ot illegal, it ca be offesive ad iappropriate. Mediatio will ot be used to resolve complaits of sexual assault. Formal complaits are hadled through the appropriate area s discipliary process. For the etire Policy o Harassmet, Discrimiatio, ad Sexual Miscoduct, studets should refer to the uiversity s Studet Maual of Uiversity Policies ad Regulatios available olie at harassmetpolicy.uchicago.edu. Specific Stadards of Professioalism Alcohol Illiois law prohibits the cosumptio ad possessio of alcohol by persos uder the age of 21, ad the supplyig of alcohol to ay perso uder the age of 21. Illiois law also prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages except by those licesed to sell such beverages. All members of the uiversity commuity should be aware of the requiremets of Illiois law cocerig the cosumptio, possessio, ad sale of alcoholic beverages. The uiversity expects each member of the commuity to be resposible for his or her ow coduct ad for the cosequeces of that coduct. Ay violatio of the uiversity alcohol ad other drug policy by a studet will result i appropriate discipliary proceedigs, as well as possible legal oes. Idividuals plaig campus evets should cosult with the studet group advisors i Studet Life. For the etire policy, studets should refer to the uiversity s Studet Maual of Uiversity Policies ad Regulatios available olie at studetmaual.uchicago.edu.

I structurig access to iformatio o members of the commuity, Chicago Booth balaces accessibility with requests for privacy i its olie Commuity Directory. Access to alumi data is a privilege, ot a etitlemet; studets may ever solicit or mass members of the commuity. Commo sese ad courtesy should always prevail. Studets seekig a itroductio to a alumus or with questios o alumi-related matters should cotact Alumi Relatios at alumi@chicagobooth.edu, , or ChicagoBooth.edu/alumi.
