Question

Why is it important to have a code of conduct and behavior expectations for a university

Answer 1

Every society has behavioral expectations of its members. The university must maintain its reputation and assure the holders of certificates and degrees and their future employers that their degrees have been earned in a rigorous program.

What do you think?

Answer 2

Behavior expectations are also called "norms" of behavior. If behavior deviates significantly from the norms, <I>any</I> organization will not be able to fulfill it functions. For example, in a university, you need to register for classes and then attend them.

Beside most common sense norms in relating to other people, for university courses, most norms are defined in their syllabi.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
