STATEMENT OF POLICY
AREAS OF PARTICULAR SENSITIVITY
Honesty and Fairness
UMDNJ is engaged in varied business relationships
with other organizations and individuals, and is the seller and buyer of goods
and services. Many of you are therefore called upon during the course of your
duties to represent UMDNJ in dealings with the outside organizations. Regardless
of the identity of the individuals or organizations you deal with, you should
always adhere to the following standards:
- Never make misrepresentations or dishonest statements intended to mislead
or misinform. If it appears that anything you have said has been misunderstood,
correct it promptly.
- Under the guidance of the Compliance Officer and the Office of Legal Management,
respond accurately, completely and promptly to all requests for information from
government regulatory agencies.
- Never use UMDNJ’s success or size to intimidate or threaten another
organization. Although you may cite legitimate advantages of doing business with
UMDNJ, you must be careful not to engage in any activity that could be construed
as coercive or threatening.
- Never disparage a competitor, its products or its services. Rather, stress
in a fair and accurate manner the advantages of UMDNJ’s products and services.
- No UMDNJ trustee, officer, faculty or staff member shall accept any gifts,
favors, services or other things of value under the circumstances from which
it might be reasonably inferred that such gifts, services, or other thing of
value was given or offered for the purpose of influencing him or her in the discharge
of his or her duties. Please refer to UMDNJ’s policy on the University’s
Code of Ethics: General Conduct for further information.
