The Ivey Academy – Professional Code of Conduct
As
members of The Ivey Academy (IA) family and the wider Ivey Business
School community, faculty, clients, program participants and staff
members are expected to comply with The Ivey Academy Professional Code
of Conduct. The objective of this Code is to promote both a work and
learning environment, which adhere to the highest standards of integrity
and conduct.
The Ivey community welcomes
individuals of different ages, socio-economic backgrounds,
non-discriminatory perspectives, ethnicities, genders, gender
identities, gender expressions, national origins, religious and
spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, abilities, and other visible and
nonvisible differences.
We acknowledge that
Western University is located on the traditional lands of the
Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron peoples, on
lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and
the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land continues to be home
to diverse Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we
recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of
our society.
We consider our Ivey Academy
community, in-person and virtual, to be a place where all individuals,
whatever their differences, are valued and will be treated with respect.
Staff/ Faculty/ Clients and Program Participants of The Ivey Academy community are expected to:
1. Represent themselves honestly in all communications and correspondence.
2.
Respect the views, contributions and confidentiality of others during
in-class and out-of-class discussions and in all interactions, virtual
and in-person.

responsibility and accountability in the fair and reasonable treatment
of all partners, colleagues and stakeholders, both internal and
external. This includes respecting timelines, schedules and attendance
at discussion groups, classes and meetings.

members of The Ivey Academy, regardless of their role with the IA

Create an environment of psychological safety where expressing
opinions, taking risks and making mistakes is a healthy part of every
learning opportunity. By promoting psychological safety within The Ivey
Academy, we unleash resilience, motivation, open-mindedness and
persistence.
8. Regard the virtual learning
environment, including courses, activities and events, with the same
respect as in-person sessions. Attendance, engagement and participation
are to be treated as a priority to ensure the highest quality
educational experience.
9. Respect the
confidentiality of materials shared during program preparation and

and exercising personal responsibility in upholding the values of
integrity and respect while representing The Ivey Academy in the
