IAU-MCO guidelines for an institutional code of ethics in higher education

The International Association of Universities and the Magna Charta Observatory have jointly drawn up the following Guidelines for an Institutional Code of Ethics in Higher Education (hereafter Guidelines) to encourage the adoption of comprehensive Institutional Codes of Ethics by higher education institutions where no such ethical code exists or to assist in the review of existing institutional codes. These Guidelines will be periodically reviewed and revised, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the changing higher education environment.
