Ethics

It is of the highest importance that the people of the State of Texas have confidence in the integrity of their public servants. This need is especially critical in the area of state-supported higher education. The responsibility for educating and training the future leaders of the state and nation carries with it the duty to adhere to the highest ethical standards and principles. It is for this reason that this statement of ethical principles and its accompanying guidelines was formed. (System Policy 07.01, Ethics Policy)

Alcohol and Drug-Free Awareness and Prevention Program

Recognizing the cost of substance abuse to the workplace, Texas A&M AgriLife has developed procedures to promote a safe and healthy environment for all employees.
