Time Zone

Community Standards
Members of the Carnegie Mellon University community are expected to uphold the standards of the community in addition to holding others accountable for said standards.

It is rare that the life of a learner in an academic community can be so private that it will not affect the community as a whole or that the above standards do not apply.  An environment of mutual trust and respect is necessary if the institution is to promote integrity.  Mutual trust and respect are prerequisites for open communication and honest dialogue about values, goals and expectations. They require freedom of expression without fear of retribution, institutional or otherwise, and value the diversity of persons, ideas, and choices differing from one's own. They recognize that being in a diverse community is an advantage to encouraging discovery and creativity.  Both respect for individuals and respect for institutional values involves balancing the claims of personal autonomy with the goals and mission of the institution.

All registrants are expected to abide by the foregoing Carnegie Mellon University community standards. Registrants who violate community conduct standards will be removed from the executive education program with no refund.
