Information gained by observation or conveyed in trust from students or faculty should be held in strictest confidence, and faculty members should be careful to protect students' legal and moral rights to privacy. Faculty members should refrain from counseling in fields in which they have not had special training. If situations arise requiring special counseling, students should be directed by faculty to the appropriate office. Only the chairperson or secretary of a faculty committee is authorized to make announcements of committee actions. Faculty should develop a consistent and fair system of grading.
Students have the right to have their work returned and to review their grades.
Faculty members should be actively concerned with those aspects of the general welfare of their students that affect the education process. Faculty should secure permission and give credit for the use of original student contributions in their lectures or publications in the same manner and to the same degree as for borrowed materials from other sources. They should not, in any case, use students to their detriment to foster research, publications, or other personal ventures. Faculty, who rightfully seeks academic freedom for themselves, should be extremely careful to accord students the same freedom. Faculty should not tutor students for pay except under conditions known and approved by responsible authorities.
