Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Policy statement
The university of Toledo's goals of excellence are supported by
				a set of standards of conduct. The university seeks to encourage a safe and
				pleasant work atmosphere which occurs when everyone cooperates and commits to
				appropriate standards of conduct.
(B) Purpose of policy
In compliance with the provisions of section
				3345.21 of the Revised Code, the
				board of trustees of the university has adopted standards of conduct and makes
				them applicable to all persons. Standard of conduct rules are not intended to
				restrict the rights of employees, but rather to advise employees of prohibited
				conduct and allow the department and ultimately the university to attain its
				objectives in an orderly manner. Other rules are provided by statute, by
				Administrative Code, and by administrative procedures established by
				management.
(C) Scope
The policy applies to all employees except to the extent the
				activity or conduct is specifically governed by a separate agreement or
				university policy.
(D)
			 Procedure
(1) All vice presidents, deans, and
			 other supervisors are responsible for the appropriate and consistent
			 application of this policy. All vice presidents, deans, and other supervisors
			 are also responsible for initiating the request for disciplinary action as soon
			 as they are aware of a potential situation.
(2) Employees are expected to become familiar
			 with the established rules of the university and the departments in which they
			 work. Employees are responsible for complying with and adhering to all
			 performance expectations, policies and procedures. Employees are expected to
			 conduct themselves in a manner both on and off duty that does not adversely
			 affect the ability of the employee to perform the duties of their
			 position.
(3) General rules of
			 conduct and policies have been established to help achieve the objectives of
			 this policy. The expectation is that all employees are held to the highest
			 standards of conduct in all areas related to their employment. Inappropriate

			 disrespectful, abusive behavior, substandard quality of work, theft, falsifying
			 records, failure to properly record time worked or any other behavior deemed
			 inappropriate will be subject to disciplinary action based on the circumstances
			 of the situation
(4) Employees
			 should recognize that ("failure of good behavior") may be grounds for
			 disciplinary action. Failure of good behavior includes but is not limited to
			 discourtesy to the public, absenteeism, tardiness, insubordination,
			 inappropriate attire, and dishonesty.
(5) In the event any university of Toledo
			 employee is convicted of any felony the employee shall within ten days, notify
			 human resources.
