Members and Affiliates Society Participant Guide for Ethics/Conduct-Harassment Policy

Companion to full Model Ethics/Conduct-Harassment Policy found here and can also be used on its own to highlight conduct expectations and consequences.

NOTE: 

Short form policies emphasize inclusive conduct expectations and are a fine place to start.  They operate as “plug and play” first-step policies.

Short forms do not, however, address the fuller range of complex policy and legal issues and policy options that societies may want to consider in developing more comprehensive policies.  The Societies Consortium’s full Model Policy Guides are a resource for societies that are ready to take the next step. Available here.
