In the mental health area, more than half of all mental health professionals in this country are social workers. Case management services for individuals with disabilities exemplify, perhaps, more than any other job, the values and skills of the social work generalist orientation. At the graduate level it is not unusual for social workers to be working in an administrative capacity including the need to develop programs, create policies and submit grant proposals related to needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. An act is academically dishonest when it is an act attempted or performed which misrepresents one's involvement in an academic task in any way, or permits another student to misrepresent the latter's involvement in an academic task by assisting in the misrepresentation. The University of Wyoming and the Division of Social Work endorse a campus environment characterized by diversity, free inquiry, free expression and balanced by interpersonal civility which has always been, and continues to be, a top priority of the University of Wyoming.
Civil discourse is an essential aspect of the search for and transmission of knowledge.
Words and actions that promote and encourage self-worth, respect and dignity are consistent with the university's mission. Conversely, words or actions that reflect prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination are antiethical to the mission of the University and cannot be countenanced. Specifically, racist and other discriminatory or harassing conduct based on gender, color, disability, sexual orientation, religious preference, national origin, ancestry or age impair and disrupt legitimate university functions. Every effort, within the context and protection of First Amendment rights, will be expended to eliminate such conduct from the campus community. It is the obligation of the faculty, staff, students and the administration of the University of Wyoming to provide this environment.
