2026 TASKFORCE ON THE REVIEW OF �鶹ֱ��’S POLICY ON PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Charge

�鶹ֱ��’s current Policy on Professional Conduct was approved by �鶹ֱ��’s Board in 2015, publicly announced in 2017, and amended in 2019: this policy was the result of “�鶹ֱ�� members’ call for a comprehensive professional conduct policy that would be consistent with �鶹ֱ��’s Mission and Strategic Plan.” The policy was proposed to be reviewed annually.

In scope, the policy on professional conduct is intended to give guidance to �鶹ֱ��’s standing committees as they write and implement their specific policies relating to their sphere of action. As �鶹ֱ�� is adopting a Strategic Plan for 2026-2030; and as the �鶹ֱ�� Board wishes to support the work of �鶹ֱ�� members who maintain the highest ethical standards of scholarship and public discourse, this Taskforce has been created:

1. to examine the current Policy on Professional Conduct
2. to collaborate with �鶹ֱ�� membership, including the leadership, in revising the Policy on Professional Conduct
3. to suggest revisions to �鶹ֱ��’s Board that will enhance �鶹ֱ��’s standards of scholarship and public discourse.
