Policy Statement
The purpose of the Ethical Practices Policy is to protect the integrity and reputation of TCCNHS during any interaction the College has with its community and constituents. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing ethical practices that are applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations. Compliance with this policy is the responsibility of every College employee, officer, and department head, including the duty to immediately report any suspected violations.
The College values its reputation for providing exceptional education to its students and is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct as an integral part of its mission and values. The men and women who have been employed here in the past and who are employed here now have built this reputation. Since our future depends on the trust and confidence the public places in our College, every department head, faculty, staff and/or employee is expected to:
a. Exhibit standards of personal integrity and professional conduct that reflect positively on his/her association with the College;
b. Maintain strict confidentiality of student, employee, corporate records and information during and after employment with the College;
