TJTS5901 Code of Conduct
Equality and Diversity
Our multicultural and international community, which respects each individual, is our richness and a source of inspiration. A non-discriminating place for working and learning supports the development and success of the members of our university community. JYU takes care of the quality and availability of guidance as well as the accessibility of education. We behave appropriately, are appreciative and support each other also in challenging situations. We do not tolerate any inappropriate treatment, harassment, discrimination or bullying.
We promote equality and non-discrimination in our university community in accordance with the strategy and legislation as well as the aims set jointly with the university community. The aims and development measures are described in strategy development programmes and the Equality Plan for 2019–2021.
Promoting appropriate conduct in our community
Our university community does not accept any inappropriate treatment, bullying, nor sexual or other harassment toward the staff or students. We will intervene in and sort out any problematic situations of this kind.
What is inappropriate behaviour
Inappropriate treatment refers to generally unacceptable demeanour toward another person. It may occur, for example, as continuous and unjustified criticism toward one’s work, negative or harmful gossip, exclusion from the work community or repeated improper behaviour such as taunting or yelling.
Sexual harassment is most strikingly inappropriate behaviour. It is undesirable, one-sided sexually-tinged behaviour, which the other person finds unpleasant and insulting. Sexual harassment may be verbal or physical. Sexual attention turns into harassment if it is continued although the other person expresses that the behaviour is undesirable.
