Each classified and unclassified staff member is expected to be cognizant of the University's educational mission and to be devoted to the accomplishment of the purposes for which the University exists. The University, in turn, is committed to providing favorable conditions of work, a pleasant environment for its personnel, and for their involvement in University cultural and recreational activities.

Section 5. Responsibilities of Unclassified and Classified Staff.

Competent and effective performance of appropriate duties is expected of all staff members.

It is a basic responsibility of the unclassified and classified staff, as it is of all other university personnel, to contribute to that spirit and that kind of environment.
