Ethics

Accountability and Trust

Leading from integrity reflects Pitt's commitment to honesty and accountability in every facet of our operations. 

In that spirit, Pitt's Ethical Conduct Standards are a resource for employees in all areas of the university, to unify us under the ethical expectations of the University, allowing us to better embody Pitt's universal values of:

  • Academic Excellence
  • Collaboration
  • Innovation
  • Inclusion
  • Sustainability; and
  • Community

We are proud of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni, and hope you take pride in being associated with a community of learners who work together to attain common goals. We encourage you to use these standards as a guide for how to ethically contribute to our community.
