Code of Ethics and Employee Conduct
Montgomery College is committed to fostering an environment of integrity where ethical
standards are consistently applied by all. Our Code of Ethics and Employee Conduct (PDF, 
) was adopted by the Board of Trustees on June 19, 2017. The Code of Ethics expresses
the ethical standards for faculty, staff, and administrators: Accountability, Civility
and Collegiality, Compliance, Fairness, Honesty, Respect, and Stewardship.
Upholding the Code of Ethics will serve to enhance an ethical environment and promote civility, excellence, and integrity in our work and with one another. It is every employee’s responsibility to uphold the Code of Ethics and to encourage high standards of ethical behavior and decision-making by all.
