Vendor Code of Conduct

Kent State University is committed to conducting its business affairs in a socially responsible manner consistent with its educational and public service mission. Kent State University expects a deep commitment to legal compliance and ethical business practices by all of its licensees; therefore, KSU will select and maintain only those licensees who will conduct their business in a manner consistent with KSU’s Code of Conduct (“Code”) and will commit to the Code.

This Code is intended as an instrument for productive changes. This Code was created by the cooperation and input from students, alumni, faculty and staff. Further recommendations for refinements from these groups individually or as representatives of organizations are welcomed and encouraged. Such recommendations should be directed to the licensing coordinator, jwatson1@kent.edu.
