The University expects that its faculty, students, and staff will be responsible citizens both in society and within the University itself. The Board of Trustees considers such responsibility to extend beyond the observance of law, which it takes for granted, and to encompass the commitment of all members of the university community to safeguarding the values of academic integrity, the free pursuit of knowledge, and the protection of intellectual property.
As a place of learning, teaching, and research, Hellenic American University can only thrive in an atmosphere conducive to free and respectful inquiry. The Board of Trustees thus calls upon all members of the University community to protect and foster an environment of intellectual openness and to condemn harassment or intolerance in whatever form it may appear.
The University's administration and faculty elaborate these principles in a broad range of policies and procedures, which are published in handbooks, guidelines and manuals, in printed and electronic form, and find expression as well in University contracts and other legal documents. The Board of Trustees instructs University leadership to take all appropriate measures to ensure that students, faculty and staff are aware of and observe these policies and procedures.
