QUESTION: IntegrityA2

Not applicable.

The department adheres to the codes of ethics cited above and frequently reviews them with students as part of course work and student/faculty research.  Ethics are taught in many of the classes in relation to particular issues, and in the introductory sequence (1xx level courses), Anth 301 - Principles and Assessment, and reviewed and discussed in Anth 458 and 459.  Department members are expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards of the discipline and the University.

..  It is hoped that this small first step will help this Department and its faculty to build on the internal strengths of the faculty, the facility, and most importantly student interest in the near future and beyond.  With a self study comes responsibilities for accountability and a sharpened awareness of needs and discussion on how best to meet these perceived or measurable shortcomings.  Faculty accountability should be matched with administrative recognition for what is done well when it relates to sincere efforts to improve our students’ educational experience at Central Washington University.

If a member feels something needs to be revised or added, they will bring it up to the rest of the faculty for discussion.  Decisions are made collaboratively.

We try to offer adequate courses for our students, even though sometimes budget shortage makes it difficult. When necessary, we use adjustment to satisfy student needs (such as course substitutions).

The Physics Department does not have a policy related to integrity.

The Chair communicates all relevant University policies and other information to the faculty, updating them on any changes over time. If the American Political Science Association revises its ethics code, referenced above, it is likely the Department would endorse these changes.

(January 2008)
We attend closely to ethical conduct in our teaching, research, and service and model these standards for our students. We teach about ethical standards in our undergraduate and graduate curricula. 

Our directors of graduate programs are charged, in part, with ethical standards compliance in their programs. Our mental health counseling, school counseling, and school psychology programs are reviewed periodically by state and professional accrediting organizations and ethical standards are included in these reviews. Experimental studies that use human participants are individually reviewed by a faculty member and by our campus IRB. Studies using animal subjects are reviewed by our campus IACUC. The importance of scientific integrity and ethical conduct is part of the curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our graduate programs in mental health counseling and school counseling devote an entire course to professional and ethical issues.
