MBA Judicial Council
The NYU Stern Code of Conduct
Jeff Schwartz
Class of 2011 Judicial Council Co-Chair
11
Introduction to the Code of Conduct
• Every society and many smaller groups have a set of explicit and implicit rules, norms and values they support
• We value the collaborative culture that exists at Stern and want to ensure it remains intact
• Irresponsible or unethical behavior hurts NYU/Stern’s reputation
• The Code consists of nine rules that apply to students, faculty, and employees of Stern
• It is important for us to clarify what is expected of you at Stern. If you are not sure…ask
12
1) Respect every member of the NYU community
• Since Stern is such a collaborative community,– Do not infringe upon the rights of others– Do not intimidate, harass, or discriminate against
others – Be self-aware of how you effect others
• Example of a violation:– Physically threatening someone who does not
leave your favorite study space
13
2) Exercise integrity in all aspects of your academic work
• Do not cheat– Use your time at Stern as a true learning
experience - one that is your own• Examples of violations:
– Looking at a peer’s paper during a test– Copying assignments– Putting your name on a group paper that you
have not read or signed off on– Discussing ideas for an individual paper with a
peer
14
3) Clearly acknowledge the work of others when submitting written work
• Do not plagiarize“Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work, including the work of other students, as one’s own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source…must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. What is considered “common knowledge” may differ from course to course. (Source: Indiana University, 2005)”
• We encourage you to read through the following “How to Recognize Plagiarism” tutorial at http://www.indiana.edu/%7Eistd/ and take the five minute quiz.
• You are responsible for the integrity of all parts of a group paper or project
• Examples of violations:– Not placing quotation marks around a direct quote in a paper– Not footnoting a paraphrased statement
15
4) Demonstrate dignity and integrity in all aspects of your involvement with NYU
• Uphold the reputation of NYU at all NYU/Stern events, including:– Club and SCorp events, such as conferences – Academic-related travel, such as DBi– Office of Career Services events, such as
corporate presentations• Examples of violations:
– Thrashing the hotel room you are staying in while on a club trek or DBi course
– Pre-dating the date on late assignments
16
5) Be truthful and sensible when submitting information to, or on behalf of, NYU or its members
• Examples of violations:– Signing in a friend to a class if they have a job
interview– Altering/post-dating bursar bills/transcripts to
one’s employer for reimbursement purposes
17
6) Preserve NYU’s property and respect the property of other members of the NYU community
• Please think of NYU’s property as an investment in which everyone is a partner
• Do not leave your property unsecured as there are many visitors to Stern who are not part of our community
• Examples of violations:– Hacking into Stern’s computers– Littering in NYU buildings– Reading a document left on a public printer
18
7) Do not disrupt the educational process, and obey the law and NYU/Stern policies
• To be an engaged and supportive member of our community it is imperative that you agree to abide by our rules and the rules that exist in our broader society
• Examples of violations:– Preventing other students from hearing a lecture
by talking during class– Trading on insider information
19
8) Do not help others violate the Code and report violations of it and NYU/Stern policies
• Inform a student who may be violating the Code since s/he may not recognize the action to be a violation
• You are not expected to police your peers but are encouraged to tell a Judicial Council or faculty member you when the Code has been, is, or will be violated
• Non-action is a choice and an action that is performed when you observe inappropriate behavior and do nothing about it
• Examples of violations:– Giving a peer answers to a test or assignment– Not reporting an observed violation
20
9) Be familiar with NYU/Stern policies, and codes governing civil behavior and academic integrity
• Take responsibility• Ignorance is not an excuse• Help others (who need help) understanding
the Code of Conduct
21
What is the Judicial Council?• A student run committee of SCORP that oversees
the student judicial process• We educate students about the Code of Conduct
and its importance• We are not a police force• When called upon, we conduct an investigation to
determine whether a violation may have occurred, hold a hearing, and recommend sanction(s) if necessary
• We are available to discuss the Code of Conduct and related issues

Life at Stern
• Classroom participation
• Classroom tips
41
Classroom Participation
• In the United States, students are expected to contribute to, and are often evaluated on, their participation in class discussion
• It is not disrespectful to question or challenge the professor
• In many classes, grades will be determined in part by a student's contributions to class discussions
42
Exchange Student Orientation
• International students may be surprised by students' behavior in the classroom. American students are likely to be dressed casually, may bring drinks or snacks to class, and may speak to the professor in a very informal way.
• Some professors run more formal classrooms than others. The best advice is to observe the classroom environment during the first week and adapt accordingly to the degree you are comfortable.
