Department of Theatre
Ethical standards of the Department of Theatre
The following standards describe principles of self-discipline, which, far from robbing students, faculty, and staff of individuality, increase personal self-esteem and dignity through cooperation and common purpose.
All those who participate in academic and artistic activities in the Department of Theatre are expected to adhere to these ideals.
General Principles
- I understand my conduct in and out of the building reflects on the reputation of the Department of Theatre.
- All my activities outside classes are an extension of my academic experience.
- I understand that the theatrical experience is the collaborative effort of authors, artists, and audiences and is founded on mutual respect.
- I understand that I am expected to make every effort to fulfill my production and academic responsibilities regardless of how small my task or large my personal problem and I am accountable for their completion.
- I understand that the University Catalog is my contract with the University, and that I am subject to its regulations, including those that apply to academic honesty, sexual harassment and nondiscrimination.
- I understand that the attainment of artistic and academic excellence depends upon my physical and mental readiness, so I will not jeopardize the work of myself and others by injudicious activities inside or outside the theatre.
- I understand that safety is a departmental priority and everyone's responsibility including my own.
- I understand that the Royall Tyler Theatre is not only a place of public assembly but also a learning laboratory, so I will treat the building and its contents with respect.
