All participants will conduct themselves in a professional manner that is welcoming
to all participants and free from any form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
Participants will treat each other with respect and consideration to create a collegial,
inclusive, and professional environment. Creating a supportive environment to enable
scientific discourse is the responsibility of all participants.
Participants will avoid any inappropriate actions or statements based on individual
characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity,
gender expression, marital status, nationality, political affiliation, ability status,
educational background, or any other characteristic protected by law. Disruptive or
harassing behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but is not
limited to inappropriate or intimidating behavior and language, unwelcome jokes or
comments, unwanted attention, offensive images, photography without permission, and
stalking.
Violations of this code of conduct policy should be reported to meeting organizers
Justin Perron (jperron@csusm.edu), Charles De Leone (cdeleone@csusm.edu), Shahed Sharif
(ssharif@csusm.edu). Sanctions may range from verbal warning, to ejection from the
meeting, to notifying appropriate authorities. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate
conduct will not be tolerated. If a participant observes inappropriate comments or
actions and personal intervention seems appropriate and safe, they should be considerate
of all parties before intervening.
