SUBJECT:

Statement of Ethical Values and Standards of Ethical Conduct

The Board of Regents of the University of California has adopted a Statement of Ethical Values and Standards of Ethical Conduct to which every member of our campus community is responsible. I am asking all of you to read this clearly articulated statement of values and conduct which can be found at http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/ethicsprogram.

The University will be implementing a web-based training program in early 2006 to further explain and reinforce the Standards and our responsibility to uphold them. I have asked the UCSD Committee on Accountability and Controls (CAC) to form a sub-group to advise me on further actions that should be employed at UCSD to ensure the effective implementation of these Standards.

I look forward to working with all of you to ensure these Standards are upheld by each and every member of our campus community.
