Academic Freedom, meaning the right to pursue and teach truth as one's scholarship dictates, is required for the scholar to keep this pledge. Plagiarism, claiming credit for the contributions of others, is unprofessional.
Equality is a cardinal rule in Academia.
In a properly functioning community of scholars, despite differences in tenure, assignment, and scholarly focus, no hierarchy exists. Mutual Respect and Civility are cornerstones of professional ethics. To harass, denigrate, or discriminate against a colleague or student is unprofessional. Shared Power is a carefully guarded tradition in the organization and operation of academic institutions. Power flows upward, rather than top-down as in a business or military organization.
