Institutional Ethics and Values

This booklet by the president of Samford University describes the obligation of every governing board as an entity and every individual trustee to develop and maintain a reputation for ethical propriety. Doing so will preserve an institution's reputation and integrity, protect it against legal sanctions, and prevent expensive and embarrassing incidents. The booklet addresses compliance with local, state, and federal laws; corporate charters and bylaws; contracts and obligations; and accountability and self-regulation, among many other issues.
