Statement
of Principles for University
Community Retailers
September
1, 2001
The
University of Pennsylvania is a community in which intellectual
growth, learning from others, mutual tolerance, and respect for
freedom of thought and expression are principles of paramount importance.
As the largest private employer in Philadelphia--and the largest
institution of higher education--the University of Pennsylvania
is committed to creating a favorable environment for its constituents
and partners.
Members
of the University community are expected to exhibit responsible
behavior, to be responsible for their actions, and to respect the
rights of others. Responsible behavior includes:
a) Respecting
the health and safety of others.
b) Ensuring
fair and equitable treatment of all customers in pricing, service
delivery, and any other business transactions.
c) Respecting
the rights of University community members to express opinions
and points of view without fear or threats.
d) Complying
with all contracts made with the University.
e) Complying
with federal, state, and local laws.
A
civil campus environment requires the participation of all its constituents.
In the same manner that the University holds high expectations for
its business and retail partners, it expects that all members of
the University community will treat Penn's business and retail
partners with similar respect and courtesy.
If
you have questions regarding this Statement of Principles, please
contact the University's Division of Business Services: (215)
898-9155.
