The students of the Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee believe that ethical behavior in business starts with ethical behavior in business school.  We are dedicated to the establishment of high ethical and moral standards.  For this reason we have developed the following code of ethical behavior for all student members of this academic community to adopt.

We shall…

Promote Honesty and Integrity

• Pursue academic goals with the highest standard of honesty and integrity while enhancing our personal reputations and that of the Lubar School of Business.
• Take responsibility for our learning and hold ourselves accountable for our own actions.
• Develop and covet integrity and ethical behavior in the classroom, on campus, and in the community while maintaining professionalism at all times.

 
Foster Respect and Team Work

• Embrace common drive, purpose, and positive relationships among students, faculty, and staff.
• Cultivate community and teamwork by respecting the    views of others.
• Uphold the principle of fair play and be vigilant against conduct which has the intent, capability, or effect of being deceptive or dishonest.

Develop Leadership

• Demonstrate exceptionally high moral and ethical standards for others to follow.
• Foster the courage to confront all forms of unethical behavior.
• Practice principles of continuous improvement in academics, interactions with others, and professional goals.

We will maintain these principles inside and outside the walls of this institution.  We believe that high ethical standards developed here will transcend to high ethical standards in the greater business community.
